It's funny how social activists usually protest against the only things that have a credible chance of achieving the activists' goals.

All Blood Bleeds Red When Shot
peace activists do not wait
for a window of opportunity
free of political restraints
ignore state imposed sanctions
fair-weather or foul protest
devote lives to causes of peace
or agendas to better society
peace activists ignore spin doctors
political rhetoric spreading hate
divide conquer invasion messages
all humans embrace as brothers
all blood bleeds red when shot

In these times, the hardest task for social or political activists is to find a way to get people to wonder again about what we all believe is true. The challenge is to sow doubt.

When we criticize in Iran the actions of the government, the fundamentalists say that we and the Bush Administration are in the same camp. The funny thing is that human rights activists and Mr. Bush can never be situated in the same group.

LESS DRUG ADDICTS WILL DIE Apr 19th,2011
Some special-interest crowd wants to supervise free injection sites,
For addicts who bought illegal drugs in Toronto last night,
Just like the Vancouver site that the Feds are trying to close down,
While all the left-wing activists scream, holler, write and wear a frown.
Therefore these activists should get an injection site next-door,
Where they can watch the addicts buy illegal stuff and come and go,
As they also watch their neighborhood change almost over night,
Eventually they might notice that it is not a pretty sight.
Sometime, somewhere, somehow, we’ve lost all political control,
And we’re headed for a criminal infested injection hole,
And if some right politician doesn’t come forward and take charge,
We may be all going to hell in a basket by enlarge.

Heroes
there's been a lot of talk
about heroes this week
let me tell you about heroes
the single mom making minimum wage
trying to go to school, and keep
her babies clothed and fed
the school teacher who, upon
losing funding, takes his or
her own money and buys supplies
the young businessman who stops
what he's doing, and goes and
serves in the soup line
the common joes who sit
in protest of the oil pipeline
ready to be arrested if needed
the young girls in Taliban controlled
countries who dare to go to school
the Mexican family slipping
across the border by cover
of night, risking it all
for a chance, for a chance
the human rights activists who
speak out knowing they'll be
imprisoned, beaten, or worse
the neighbor who stops what
he's doing and comes over to help
when no one else will
the drug addict who walks away
from it, and starts over
step by step
the common citizen, of this country
or any country, that stands up
and says enough is enough
right is right, and wrong is wrong
these, and many more like them
are my heroes!

Gay culture is surviving and thriving. Some activists believe the recent rise in homophobic violence might be a gauge of the success of positive gay images.
