Sometimes Advocates Have So Much Fun…

Activists are the best people because they care about something beyond themselves enough to put time, money, energy, creativity into it and activism, at its best, is a bold statement of the basic goodness of human nature . It is an odd characteristic and liability of us activist types that we can get so entrenched in fighting the good fight that we sometimes forget to win! I mean, we don’t have to fight and protest. We can also win.
Some years back I was a member of a council composed of leaders of various activism groups and they were all about getting themselves arrested for speaking up for their beliefs… that was their highest level of self satisfaction in accomplishment .
Unfortunately, though, this accomplishes absolutely nothing for anybody except the individual who gets himself arrested . He gets to feel like Jesus or some other martyr for a cause and position himself in history because he spent a night in the slammer with a bunch of drunks and would be car thieves.
Let me put this another way.
Did you ever see those old slapstick comedians or cartoons where they do this shtick of needing to get into some room and hammering with their fists on the door to that room which is locked and, all the while, they fail to notice that there is another door to the side of the one they are hammering on which is wide open and they could simply walk right through?
It can be like that for activists, too .
For an activist there is a real exhilaration, an amazing high that can be attained by expressing freedom of speech, by confronting the evil in the world, by standing with fellow activists and of self esteem and knowingness of one’s own decency involved in grabbing a bull horn and a picket sign and hitting the street. It is a sensation that only an activist can appreciate. Others get it by being spectators at sporting events but activists get it by actually going out there and doing something effective.
However, we activists sometimes have so much fun doing what we are doing that we forget one little thing… to WIN!
As an example, take the Water4Gas system which is a real answer to alternative fuel for automobiles and helps drivers get better MPG, a happier car engine and also helps the environment with cleaner emissions .
It is an old mechanic’s trick, like if they want a car to pass emissions, they just pour water into the engine, all the gunk shoots out the back and then they take the car into the local smog inspection station and it passes. Well, that is a fraudulent practice because the car should not have passed emissions. BUT, Water4Gas does the same thing over a couple o weeks after installation but it is permanent!
So the point is that all of this activism for cleaner energy and against climate change has given us a much larger and more urgent disaster where crops are being grown for biofuel instead of food, resulting in a major global food scarcity and food riots in countries around the world and the prospect of ten to twenty million people dead this year alone from starvation who did not have to die ! Amazingly, biofuel from corn, soy and other such crops doesn’t even better the environmental situation, it worsens it!
So all this lobbying, all this hysteria of global warming and so forth and all this effort and energy and creativity invested into the environmental movement when all people have to do is buy Water4Gas information, install the system in their cars, get others to do so and we win!
And then they will be free to campaign for something else besides clean energy, like the restoration of the Constitution and due process of law in America.
