I Cannot Re-Iterate This Enough: Long time activists have argued it only takes 5% of the population to make their voices heard (Bring truth to power) for positive changes to be realized. We should never abdicate personal responsibility. Changes come from the bottom up, not from the top down. The problem is FAR bigger than any one politician or political party, it is in fact the 'silent majority'.

Tolstoy (1828 –1910), Gandhi (1869 - 1948), M.L.K. (1929 – 1968), all assassinated, drew much of their inspiration from Thoreau. An inspiring transcendental parable -Thoreau was in jail once for refusing to pay his taxes and Emerson visited him asking ‘Why are you in there’ to which Thoreau replied ‘why are you out there’. - Henry David Thoreau, Walden& Civil Disobedience, 1854, US Transcendentalist Author and Activist (1817 - 1862). 1000s More Past & Present Who Go Unnamed.

Can’t just blame our 'so-called' corporate and political "leaders". Long time activists have argued it only takes 5% of the population to make their voices heard (Bring truth to power) for positive changes to be realized (i.e. ...

Syrian rebels have captured an ammunition depot north of Damascus from government forces, activists said, seizing a hoard of anti-tank missiles and rockets which could strengthen their firepower after a string of defeats.

Video footage of the raid published on Saturday showed delighted rebel fighters carrying out boxes of weapons from the arms cache in Denha, near the town of Yabroud, following an overnight attack.

Um, yes. There's something in the water! - Joke F Lübbecke of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory and 3 scientists from the GEOMAR Research Center for Marine Geosciences poured tracer dye into coastal waters off of Fukushima, and monitored its progress as it traveled to the West Coast of North America, to find out what might really happen.

"It's loud, booming, and it disrupts their activity," said Eileen Levandoski, assistant director of the Virginia chapter of the Sierra Club. "They depend on hearing to find their food. They can't communicate with each other and they get lost. When you have a compromised animal with a bacteria or virus, they're already weakened. You're adding insult to injury."

President Barack Obama announced in March he was reversing a ban he'd placed on oil lease sales off most of the country's coasts after the 2010 BP Deepwater Horizon drill rig exploded in the Gulf of Mexico, killing 11 workers and spilling nearly 5 million barrels of oil. Obama's reversal re-opened the door to potential oil and natural gas exploration and drilling along the Atlantic coast, the eastern portion of the Gulf and part of Alaska.

Oceana and the Sierra Club want the Administration to reject proposals that include airgun use, and phase them out of U.S. waters. But if seismic testing is to occur, it should be done using the least harmful technology, with defined "no activity zones" to protect vulnerable marine habitats and species.
