How will a virtual march create impact? I mean, how can it have an impact if no one is seeing it in its entirety?<br /><br />When people get off their asses and move their physical weight around on the streets, cops get nervous, politicians see it, and people see it....the effects of a mass of people is just as integral to the march as the amount of people marching. Can a virtual march create a ripple that's similar to real, physical mass- a mass of people moving in the streets? The people participating can't even see who else is joining them! Someone please respond- what do you think of this idea?<br /><br />I put the link below if anyone wants to check it out and give some commentary. Of course I'm not a complete asshole so please sign-up for the protest if you're inclined.<br /></div><a href="http://www.avaaz.org/en/virtual_march_bali/98.php/?cl_tf_sign=1"><br />Virtual March for Climate Change</a><br /><br />-Eric<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9125895999976693290-6441209688098489630?l=soapboxevent-virtualmarch.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>soapboxevent@gmail.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00578463685257481759noreply@blogger.com3
