I'm not sure what section to post this in, because it can pertain to any genre of music, but it sucks regardless.

Signed the online petition this afternoon. I hope it can sway the government.

Not this one either! The bigger Government gets, the more your rights and freedoms are taken away - and both parties are responsible for that!

There is no such thing as government any longer, there are only corporations and the puppets they control to do their bidding. Everything else is a myth, smoke and mirrors.

Anyone who thinks this can change...is a fool.

It can change. It just won't. People are too lazy, too content. You're never going to get people to really protest anything ever again. They're too fat and happy with their horrible foods and fun little gadgets.

And those that do try to do more just sign online petitions and whine on Facebook, as if that helps anything. No one actually does anything anymore.

Signing online petitions DOES make a difference, especially with organizations like Avaaz, they've helped a lot of third-world countries out.
