You were correct, but your method falls flat on the given audience. The better way to go would have been to publicly ask why nationalizing the oil was a bad thing if it was done in the interest of their nation. They have a right to their oil over outside interests, don't they? Wether we like them or not is irrelavant. All you did was look crazy to them. Insisting on being a revolutionary. You know I'm with you Aaron, but I see way too many good arguments and comments fall on deaf ears because of they way they were delivered. But of course if your aim was just to shock, then mission accomplished! :D

You guys are young, and braver than I, but some temperance in some cases might be more effective. In other cases, I wish I was more like you guys.

you started shouting political slogans in a hospital when people are only there because they have to be and you think it's odd they looked at you weird?

get a grip on reality man... half of those people were worrying about their own problems and the rest were probably worrying about a family member or friend.

Take it to hard targets.

great aaron thats the spirit try to pull some conversation on politics when you are with other people even if they dont care they will catch it up on the back of their heads and maybe think about it later or when they hear anything about it, I do the same...

edit: outlawing cigarettes or alcohol isnt going to solve anything, it creats more problems, sensiblisation is way better.
The amount of poverty and suffering required for the emergence of a Rockefeller, and the amount of depravity that the accumulation of a fortune of such magnitude entails, are left out of the picture, and it is not always possible to make the people in general see this. - Ernesto Che Guevara
