Got A Cause? Winning Is Ok, Too!

By: GARKO

Activists are the best people because they care about something beyond themselves enough to put time, money, energy, creativity into it and activism, at its best, is a bold statement of the basic goodness of human nature . It is an odd characteristic and liability of us activist types that we can get so entrenched in fighting the good fight that we sometimes forget to win! I mean, we don’t have to fight and protest. We can also win.
Some years back I was a member of a council composed of leaders of various activism groups and they were all about getting themselves arrested for speaking up for their beliefs… that was their highest level of self satisfaction in accomplishment .
Unfortunately, though, this accomplishes absolutely nothing for anybody except the individual who gets himself arrested . He gets to feel like Jesus or some other martyr for a cause and position himself in history because he spent a night in the slammer with a bunch of drunks and would be car thieves.
Let me put this another way.
Did you ever see those old slapstick comedians or cartoons where they do this shtick of needing to get into some room and hammering with their fists on the door to that room which is locked and, all the while, they fail to notice that there is another door to the side of the one they are hammering on which is wide open and they could simply walk right through?
It is like that with activists some times.
For an activist there is a real exhilaration, an amazing high that can be attained by expressing freedom of speech, by confronting the evil in the world, by standing with fellow activists and of self esteem and knowingness of one’s own decency involved in grabbing a bull horn and a picket sign and hitting the street. It is an electrification that only someone who does it with their heart and soul poured into the activity can dig . The larger portion of society gets their kicks by being spectators at concerts, sporting events and so forth and they think that is life. No, life is getting out there and doing something yourself!
However, we activists sometimes have so much fun doing what we are doing that we forget one little thing… to WIN!
As an example, take the Water4Gas system which is a real answer to alternative fuel for automobiles and helps drivers get better MPG, a happier car engine and also helps the environment with cleaner emissions .
If you were to pour water into your car engine you would find that a ton of black gunk shoots out the tailpipe. Unscrupulous mechanics sometimes do this for some old clunker that they need to get through and emissions test! . BUT, Water4Gas does the same thing over a couple o weeks after installation but it is permanent!
So if all these activists would get behind getting people to use the Water4Gas modification for their car engines they would actually WIN without needing cooperation from governments and corporations and without having to fight so hard. What has environmental activism wrought? All of this activism for alternative clean renewable fuel and energy has given us a much larger and more urgent disaster where crops are being grown for biofuel instead of food, resulting in a major global food scarcity and food riots in countries around the world and the prospect of ten to twenty million people dead this year alone from starvation who did not have to die ! Amazingly, biofuel from corn, soy and other such crops doesn’t even better the environmental situation, it worsens it!
So all this lobbying, all this hysteria of global warming and so forth and all this effort and energy and creativity invested into the environmental movement when all people have to do is buy Water4Gas information, install the system in their cars, get others to do so and we win!
And then these activists can refocus their energies towards other vital issues such as the restoration of the Bill of Rights, habeas corpus and due process and the defeat of Big Brother surveillance and the National ID card in America .
