<P style="MARGIN: 10px"><STRONG>Superficial editorial</STRONG></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 10px">This weekend's editorial (Daily News, Aug. 27 &
28) about the megaload protests in Moscow is amazingly superficial for
professed journalists. By removing all context, you trivialize the protest as
a futile attempt to stop an oil company truck.</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 10px">Of course, the protest was much more than that. It was
a signal to all those who are passionately concerned about the Earth, our only
home, that they are not alone in their passion or their concern. And it was a
signal to those who are unaware of the brutal rape of Alberta, giant tar sands
exploitation, that they have something to learn (search "tar sands action" on
Facebook or "tar sands invasion" on Google).</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 10px">Of course the protest was "symbolic," as you say. So
was Rosa Parks' refusal to move to the back of the bus.</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 10px">Great changes have to start with small, symbolic
steps, made by brave people at personal risk.</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 10px">Moscow can and should be proud of those who think
globally and act locally to resist the devastation of our planet.</P>
