wow, that is a great question. i feel that when we see something wrong with the world we first should not get mad about it, becasue i feel this doesnt help the planet. we should not protest either, but we should take action. the type of action is key. the iraq war for example, if we want change we should picture peace, rather than anti war, or "war" against "terrorists" wich are humans too, because with "anti" you are fighting negative with negative, wich in my opinion doesnt make positive. and 7000 people meditating on peace helped alot more than anti war rallies.
another example of this is the war on drugs, war on cancer, fight against aids etc..the negative (anti) energy is given to the problem (the disease) rather than its victims, if we focused on save our addicts, or cure the sick, maybe we would have a more compassionate and positive outcome.

wich is why i believe conservation is more succesful on average, because the focus is on helping the animal(s), the save the whales campaign worked, if it were the "anti whalers of the world" campaign it might not have been as successful.

i agree that without bad there is no good, and if it werent for "bad" events in my life i would probably be your typical college student, and never discover this wonderful website. so basically i agree with what your saying, that we should definelty not get mad or protest or be revolutionaries etc, but if we focus on what we feel is right in our gut or what weve always loved to do then you will fall into your role in helping others and the planet and that in itsefl will change the system for better. i bet steve irwin never anticipated his fame, he just pursued his passion.
glad to see you are tying this stuff together, keep up the good work!
