Re:With the war on terrorism... (Score 2, Insightful)

Well, I see a lot of complaints that these groups should not be allowed to do this to Dario Ringach - and a lot of calls for the FBI to track down these terrorists and put them in jail - or just not take any prisoners for the jail, with which I agree - but what can we really do about this, besides waiting around for mommy and daddy from the government to come down and make the bad people go away - I don't think that is going to work - I don't think that the American government really cares - they should, but they don't - so what can we do? Now? Where is the support group for this guy? If these activists are protesting around his home, harrassing his kids, where are his supporters that will stand on the sidewalk outside his home every morning, when his kids come out of the house to walk to school, where are those that will walk with them to school - and walk with them back in the afternoon, to support them and reassure them - and protect them against these assholes that would try to get to a man thru his kids - If these activists are calling his home and harrassing him, where are his supporters who can set up a call screening service for him? I know you can set up a PBX with Asterix - it should be relatively easy to set one up for him - why not give him a set of volunteers to screen his calls - and even review his messages - keep these people from even getting to him - if Asterix can do it, I'm sure there are other commercial services that can do this - one way or the other, it should be possible to keep out harrassing phone calls - Stop worrying about what the government should do - in these times, the government is moving away from its responsibilities toward us here in America - that may be right or wrong - wrong in my opinion - but saying that it is wrong doesn't help the victims of harrassment - what can we do about it? If one person were to volunteer to do just the little I have suggested, it would be a chore - a burden - but if 50 people volunteered, it might only be an hour out of each of their days - as long as there was some organization and planning given to the effort - if you can't be there physically to help him, then at least you can help screen his calls, even if you live in another country - There must be a way for all of the folks who are outraged by this story to support this man - if we can figure out how to organize that way, and make it effective, then we can really make a difference -
