Thanks to Mike and Andy -- the world needs more corporate pranksters. What it does not need is activists casual with the truth. It harms the cause. 20,000 have died since Bhopal of related diseases, not "within weeks." There was not "no compensation," but the compensation was woefully slow, restricted and tiny. This sort of sloppyness is pure condescension and only helps the perpetrators.
Guys like this, I always think "and then what?"
Like Michael Moore et al. Yes, they raise good points (which most people aready know), everybody gets mad. In some cases, like this coal demo, they stage some protest. And then what????
Nothing changes.
Maybe pranks aren't waht we need.
Is this safe for (smart, NY) kids?
(age 9, 13)
Keep up the great work.
Well not the only activists... It's just amazing what Bichlbaum and Bonanno have accomplished. I really love this guys.
Will you be at the Film Forum tonight?
The only activist out there that might actually be changing the world for the better.
What do you think about all the people that march and take to the streets to oppose the G-20, the wars, the corruption?
How do you take on lobbyists?
