vlad, you may be right, but this one seems to have actual backing. For example, I got my video off Mike Tyson's facebook feed, that's a big deal.

Lucy Lawless (XENA! WARRIOR PRINCESS!!!) got arrested on some dinghy a few weeks back while doing activist stuff out in the arctic. Admittedly maybe not as big as Tyson, but still, Xena. I havent seen that go and have any relevant effects other than epople just getting worked up and saying "uh... yeah.. that's bad... mkay?"

I can tell you it affected me. I suddenly wanted to do the April 20 thing in Fredericton (the city I live in) so as to create awareness and bring people to action.

If people are like meh, the first start is to get them to say mkay, and then once they say mkay, then maybe they can write mkay in a letter and post it off to a friendly government office.

@hynad Einstein-quote. So true. It's already good that they see the vid, better that they act. I find the video spurred me towards action. What about you guys? Did it have that affect on you all?

@CGW. No problem

I was talkign about the Lucy Lawless incident. Come back to me when you do go out and raise awarness in a significant amount of people. Remember the problems in darfur and how much awarness it had (it was a bunch) and jsut how long and how much effort was put into that? I do love idealistic activists though. Their passion is certainly entertianing.

A better question to all the people who bitched and whined and complained, and linked quotes which they don't quite comprehend, is why they suddenly NOW started to care? He is in hiding. Resources have been put into finding him. Where was all this... passion, back when child abductions were far far more common? Hence, a bunch of ignorant people who all of the sudden, in the best case, try to make up for their ignorance far too little far too late.
