He's a great bloke indeed but I reckon he's tired.
He's asked for help, so what are we doing to spread the word?
Yes I also think he is tired - but from his latest posting it is clear that he still isn't taking much of a break - his dedication is quite awesome.
As for what the rest of us are doing to spread the word - well I can only answer for myself and that is NOT MUCH. Sure in my daily life I do make my views known to anyone willing to listen and sure I do post a lot of information on usenet and elsewhere, I even fire off the odd e-mail now and again in protest over some bullshit some corporation or media company is promoting. I suppose I should feel guilty but the honest truth is I don't - the thing is I am now 55years old and have been posting on usenet since 1997 - right from back then I made it clear that I expected the younger generations of men to STAND UP AND FIGHT - and to the most extent they simply haven't (a small exception to this is F4J but even then most of them are in their 30's or 40's if not older).
What galls me is that young men will jump on the bandwagon for a myriad of other causes like 'public nudity' or anti-wto and g8 protests but to address something that affects not just 50% of the population but ALL of us (because we are ALL affected by the disintegration of marriage and the family - through increased taxes and the dangers of having so MANY feral kids roaming the streets etc).
Yep - I will start beating myself up when I see the young finally waking up and standing up for themselves - until then why should *I* bother taking (further) great risks with my carreer when the ones who are going to be most affected by all this will do nothing for themselves.
Answers on a postcard...
