The NYC climate change march included a sponsoring group. Boy does these guys sound important. I am going outside and start taking my non electric car apart right now. “We said it would take everyone to change everything -- and everyone showed up,” said Eddie Bautista, executive director of the New York City Environmental Justice Alliance, in a statement.
Economic actions require coordination which large apathetic groups seldom if ever achieve. The fact that IRAN will soon have Nukes is proof of that.
Civil Disobedience only makes noise and doesn't have recognizable results when the noisy minority is well represented and the apathetic majority is not.
A legal action that leaves them paying for our existence in perpetuity give them something to remember us by.
Thanks for the morning chuckle!

think of a countersuit instead of direct action like
voting or boycotting or picketing? -- j
Charlton Heston and E.G. Robinson....... -- j
I wonder if it's possible to sue that group? If they are a legally registered w/assets maybe a action can be done thru ACLU or FreedonWorks.
...wonder what superheroes are in this one. Maybe Everything Man?
The tyranny of the minority, operating on the Squeaky Wheel Syndrome Authority, states that a fancy title will collect a few thousand noisy advocates to a meaningless cause.
The Freedom from Religion Coalition, for example, based in Wisconsin is a group with a few thousand well-to-do members has virtually parsed the "Establishment {Religion} and Exercise" Clause out of the Bill of Rights, out of the Constitution by sending letters threatening to sue all and sundry for mentioning God [Regardless of how you think of Him] or praying at any kind of quasi official function.
According to Liz Hasselbeck on Fox and Friends their current target is a group of teenaged Cheerleaders, who when the school system kowtowed, to FFRC and stopped playing the Lord's Prayer before high school football games, began leading the audience in the prayer.
I am ashamed that we have given these groups, by our apathy, the right to take control of us, like a herd to the slaughter, when we should be countersuing them, for interfering with our guaranteed freedoms, asking for their entire budget + 25 percent for 100 years as punitive damages.
BK is the UN guy, and this coincided with a UN event on the same topic. And the UN is still in NYC - I think it would be much better in Cairo - or are least back in Geneva.
Like "The Council of American Builders" in The Fountainhead. A group of 4th rate secondhanders!
