I realize I'm wasting my breath even writing these words but how often do I get an opportunity to talk to a real life 'activist?"

Love your mission statement. Like so many mission statements its just a slogan. Like that you're using Gandhi and King instead of Malcolm X and Che instead. Love your intended plan which is vague enough to sound plausible but at the end of the day has no end point.

It may not be as violent or outrageous as screaming in a theater and it says its about coming up with a plan, which is more than most activists do. But there's nothing there about winning over hearts and minds which activism used to be about, only about the vague idea that if you annoy a corporation enough they will reach a conclusion to accomodate a larger goal. Hasn't worked before, won't work now.

At least you have a long game which is a nice one. That this long game doesn't involve anything resembling political action in America - which as I pointed out, makes this whole plan meaningnless - shows that your entire 'activism' is ultimately like every other so called activism I've seen in the past decade.

You might not be marching in the streets or protesting or engaging in hashtags, but the impact - play on words attended - will be just as negligible. This activisim is about you and not the goal. You can demand until the cows come home but until you have a real and significant way to get the majority of Americans behind you, all you have a website and a dream which means nothing.

I am interested in ficing the climate and i do care about Life and Nature. But I won't be joining you. Because despite what you say here, all you are doing is making a statement. It's a statement for people who agree with you and like a verbal contract isn't worth the paper its printed on.

BTW, like all activists and leftists you continue the grand trend of not recognizing irony or satire when you hear it. So that streak is still alive.
