Welcome to IWETHEY!

New But how do you get involved?
Giving money to the ACLU is good, but if that's all you do then it seems more like paying someone else to fix the problem. Which isn't what you're saying, I know, but other than paying a political action committee like the ACLU or the EFF, what next?

Giving to charities can help releive people who are suffering from problems, but can it actually solve those problems? Whether it can or can't has no bearing on whether or not those charities are good things, in my opinion, but while putting a cold compress on a fevered patient can keep the patient from frying his/her own brain, you still need a way to deal with the sickness itself. So how do you deal with *that*?

Has anyone specifically identified the sickness?

New Probably not.
I was assuming from Bill's post that he viewed the sickness as a loss of civil liberties and poverty.

New IANAL so I can only contribute
the poor will always be with us, there is no cure for poverty. I am not talking donations only, stop and have a conversation with some of these folks, might learn something. I am not advocating that this will make America better, I am advocating that giving dignity to others has a ripple effect. The $10 you give to an old man whose food stamps wont come in for 4 days might come in handy when you are old, broke and your food stamps wont come in for 4 days. Its called sympathetic magic :-)
thanx,
bill
