"Activist" is the active tense.

Every time someone disses #OWS for not being what THEY think is effective, I wonder - "and what are YOU doing, then?" Mostly, it's nothing.

I've little patience w/ them as won't do their share of the heavy lifting, but still expect to be carried.

Over break-the-fast dinner Saturday night, my parents told about hearing the tanks rolling into Newark during the riots, and about having things thrown at them when they marched during civil rights protests. My grandmother protested against the Vietnam war. My sister risked her heath and was arrested ("for an hour") protesting Monsanto's pollution of the public waterways.

Nobody asks you to carry the whole weight. But pick up a corner, and do what you can.

That is "almost" normal. They criticize and don't do anything.
