Yoshie:
Those are objectively stress points, so is the Iraq War, but subjectively none of them appears to be sending people up in arms at this moment, though certainly there are (overlapping) groups of people who are working on them as issues.
okay, let's forget the stress points metaphor for now. The point is, for what issues is there a potential that we can get people to agree with us (more importantly, with me ;-)) when they don't currently agree with us. -- Jim Devine / "The human being is in the most literal sense a political animal, not merely a gregarious animal, but an animal which can individuate itself only in the midst of society." -- Karl Marx.
