Activism. It’s good to stand for something, better to do something. But, there is always that “one guy.” You know them. The Active Activist. This guy is the one with the paste colored Ford Pinto that is being held together with myriad bumper stickers of touchy topics of the day, old 60’s clichés and sun peeled smiley faces. You wonder: What are they supporting now, they must keep it in a Blackberry.

It is, indeed, good to stand for something, and better to do something. The people you’re speaking of think they’re doing good, and they probably do, in fact, do some good.

I think the point that they (and many of the rest of us) constantly miss is that it’s a whole lot easier to do a lot of good if you focus your attention to just one or two things.

But 1 or 2 things or 100, not being afraid to share what you think and backing it up with positive actions is the cornerstone of the American spirit.
