I noticed from my recent experience in Green movements here in western europe that certain audiences are more open then others.<div><br></div><div>I noticed that some politicians from green parties are not necessarily very outspoken or critical - sometimes only scratching the surface, trying to picture a more "soft" capitalism, without re-questioning its structure.

If yet another (re-)discussion about this theme starts here that's OK<br>
for me, of course. I have almost no answers myself on these things,<br>
but it's always interesting to read answers from others.<br>
<br>
Personally, however, that's not why I posted that link: the news, I<br>
think, is not what is said, but only _where_ it is said.<br>
<br>
What I mean is simply that, if even Greenpeace (audience) start asking<br>
certain questions, maybe this is the time, and a good opportunity (not<br>
for me personally, but for you or somebody else more prepared than I<br>
am) to go THERE to ask questions like these, to people who maybe<br>
wouldn't have listened, or seen the problem, just one or six months<br>
ago.<br>
