so what's with all the deep tags spray painted all over the east side? [aka: the petrol boycott discussion]
I'm obsessed with the thought of revolution.. I live on the east side and ride public transit. Everywhere I go I notice 'deep' spray-painted alongside an MLK stencil or the word 'revolution', or 'love', or one of many other inspiring concepts. How do I get involved with this revolution? Who is behind it and where do you meet?
Help please..
[Edit: May 20, 2008 at 12:48pm] So it's relevant from the beginning, the deep tags make me wonder if there are other people interested in uniting to take back control of our economy and our political system. The main point of control here is with oil, so the discussion that follows hopefully won't be deviating from there too much more. How do we take the power back from the oil companies?

Indeed, bicycle's are excellent if you live close enough. I happen to use the bike racks IndyGo provides during my commute because there's quite a distance between the route and my office. Good suggestion Dexter.
The obvious reason we should be impatient with small change is because our economy isn't going to hold out for the time it takes the bureaucracy to make adequate political changes. It could take years to deploy an effective transit system in the metro area.. meanwhile we deal with the cost of fuel?
I still don't understand why you seem to think I'm promoting graffiti. Non-sanctioned graffiti is vandalism. It's been a theme repeated throughout this thread. And change for change sake.. seems ridiculous to me too. But I never even implied changing because of.. change. Be careful looking over that precipice; you might just fall down here with the rest of us.

I dont care about revolution, Im just here for the vandalism.

Two things and then I'm done. First, I think you're promoting graffiti becuase you asked where you could join with the person responsible in their "revolution". I'm glad you finally made clear your stance on that issue though. Secondly, I was making a generalization about change for change sake and unfortunately you took it personally.

Dear Modern Mom,
Originally, the discussion started as an attempt to locate other individuals that are ready to contribute to a worthwhile cause. Obviously it is an idea that grabs local interest. While complete restructure and organization isn't feasible without civil war, it is more intelligent to use the channels already in place to enact revitalization. In order to accomplish this we must have a central goal. In short, that goal is now starvation of the washington cash cow. The only way to do this is reduce consumption by investing in & growing mass transit. In order to flip the switch those interested need to convene and write up a distinct plan of action. What do the rest of you think?

Vandalism is a worthwhile cause?!

Yeah, we believe that vandalism is going to assist in reforming government corruption. We are also planning to intercept alien radio transmissions from mars later tonight. Seriously man, do you think about whether or not your thoughts are intelligent contributions to the thread before submitting content, or are you just trying to make an ass of yourself?
