by Sheep Dipper Bazza Sunday February 25, 2007 at 12:19 PM

1. We must be careful not to offend the Average Australian (AvOz) 10. Why bother? It'll just increase the chances of being arrested and it's way too late anyway

Top Ten Reasons Why Activists Shouldn't Be "Too Radical"

1. We must be careful not to offend the Average Australian (AvOz)
2. Self-righteousness is such a turn-off
3. We can't give ammunition to the right wing
4. The AvOz is doing the best he/she can and we shouldn't expect more
5. We can't blame the AvOz because she/he just doesn't know better
6. The AvOz will learn at his/her own pace
7. It's not our place to judge
8. Besides, it's not the AvOz's fault; the Liberals are to blame
9. The AvOz may be indifferent (at best) to reality...but they are still
"the people"
10. Why bother? It'll just increase the chances of being arrested and it's way too late anyway

NOTE - THIS IS SATIRE !
