"Do we kidnap a bunch of blind crippled children and then behead them one by one as the video cameras roll? Do we hijack some airliners and crash them into office buildings? Do we suicide bomb some busses? Or a commuter train? The possibilities are endless."
Perhaps this could be global as there seems to be some interest in the comments on this utube:

I am, on principle, against any and all “awareness weeks” ... pretty much for the same reason I am generally against all street protests, organized boycotts, sit-ins, die-ins, or “walking/biking/running across the county/city/state/country” for any random cause (for instance, walking across Texas to end homelessness).
They’re all obnoxious tactics used by wacko hippy-types, and I don’t really like them - and, generally, they’re not particularly helpful to the cause anyway.
“Awareness” campaigns always struck me as snide and condescending ... they’re basically a statement that “if everyone in the country was only as AWARE as I am, they’d certainly agree with me”. Liberals always blame the lack of support for their obnoxious causes on the lack of awareness, lack of education, or lack of “consciousness raising”.
Thus, they endlessly stage awareness campaigns, “consciousness-raising” events, and demand further “organizing”. Endlessly stupid.
I don’t like awareness weeks ... they’re useless, and not a tactic that the right should adopt.

Wow this is great news! I might take some time off work and participate at the nearest one of those 100 college campuses to me.
