Ill drop the theatricality for just a moment. No, Im not crazy. I am however, young and artistic. I saw generally what sort of person showed up at the 9/12 protests. Old people. Sure, there was a few young ones in there but for the most part the protesters looked like they'd rather be at home tending their flower beds.
Now thats not intended as an insult to anyone who attended or who have flowerbeds. Im trying to tell you, if you want your movement to succeed you need to draw in the younger crowd. Turn the tables on the left and the big govt lovers. They've had the "cool rebel" image for far too long. Kids dont want to associate with a bunch of old fogies, they want to be cool and buck the system.
And the left has also had us beat for far too long on the artistic front. You've heard about Obama wanting to use artists to create propaganda for his big government agenda. it will work too, if you let them. Dry rhetoric about right vs wrong, good vs evil just aint gonna win the hearts and minds of the young people.
Cool stuff will. Ravens are cool.
Now do you get it? Can I go back to being The Raven again?
Well......yes, you can go back to being the Raven again.........however.........if you're trying to drum up support for your movement, it's just about as effective for you to talk in the 3rd person like some insane asshat, as it is to talk about health care by showing up at town hall meetings with assault rifles.
Your choice bird.
