    I wonder if marching on a capital has ever really done anything. Like some guy in a powdered wig finally comes out and says "You win. I just drafted this document that's going to change everything!"

    I think there have been more than a few marches that have forced governments to make a change

    They seem to only bring attention to matters, which in turn leads to reform. In most of the examples I've looked up, the change can be years away. I wonder if the political pressure from key people is that much more impactful than a mass demonstration.

    It's lobbyists.

    Thank you and it was it's been a pleasure talking to you on this thread. I don't think I have enough clout to pull off initiating a successful thread in Chit Chat these days. When I critique the culture here, I think it's off putting to people and I get that I annoy people and make them feel criticized, which no one likes. Camille Paglia does it infinitely better than I do - with better credentials - and she's a woman I admire the most. I wish she'd come here with a fake name and lay waste to MFP. She'd be banned within 6 hours.

    I've never known anyone to care who starts a thread, only if it's fun or not.

    Do I need to get it started. But if you want to talk about someone tanking a thread before it even startes I might be the perfect candidate. Sorry newmeadow, scoot over

    I want to talk about the politics of needles. That's so unfun.

    I disagree.

    Start a thread and you and me will tear it apart. We'll go back and forth until the cows come home like the two nerds at school who sit side by side at a big lunch table no one else will sit at. I might derail it a bit though, and turn it into a real freakshow though, okay?

    I will make it my mission to destroy any hopes of you destroying your own thread.

    Eta: maybe

    Ah, who the hell are you?

    They call me.... *western stare down* bacon

    Were you and I a little bit in love once, having secret moist fantasies about each other that neither of us ever admitted to? I get a little tingle when I see your hooded face and mysterious sentiments but I just can't figure it out.

    what is going on in here!

    What a wonderful thing to come from such tragedy.
