But that wouldn't get attention would it? Which one's really more important? We've seriously lost our way if we actually swallow this idea that 'raising awareness' on campus can impact on a global scale. Why not support an organisation that can? I wonder whether these protesting 'ecotarians' would be willing to part with some money to really make a difference? Or is the attention-seeking part of the agenda? I'll be giving some money to RAG, totally anonymously, knowing that hopefully it'll do more good than if i rampage through london with a banner.
