^ Good point. 
I posted the picture for humor. I appologize if it came across as condescending. |

I know you did.
I was just blown away by this concept of looking on others as sheeple and kind of wanted to spread the idea around.
I think it would change the vibration a bit if we didn't feel that division between people who think they are enlightened and people who don't yet care so much. |

I hope I don't come across that way. Do I? You can be honest.

No. I don't think you're snobbish. |

Sheeple-think could be a couse of complacency, what do you think?

I think some people who have been termed "sheeple" have chosen to be complacent. I think other people who have been called that simply may not have been exposed to some of the knowledge that others have. |

The chief deficiency I see in the skeptical movement is its polarization: Us vs. Them — the sense that we have a monopoly on the truth; that those other people who believe in all these stupid doctrines are morons; that if you're sensible, you'll listen to us; and if not, to hell with you. This is nonconstructive. It does not get our message across. It condemns us to permanent minority status.”

Quote from carl sagan relating to religion but it conveys the same message. Don't separate yourself from the general public, simply inform. |

I agree that calling people names is never constructive.
With respect to your question:

How do we halt complacency?

I still think sheeple-think could be a cause of complacency. It is a cause of complacency because, in my view, sheeple-think is a result of the corporate media and corporate agenda. |

I don't know, we do take for granet what we do daily/hourly to our planet. I think, if you see this a joke or a great way to freak people out, this probably went over you heard becaue you are to imcompetent to process the nature of the situation.

Who here has the money to create a news station? Instead of reporting what's hot, we report what is important. Most people only believe there is one giant plastic island drifting in the Pacific Ocean. We need to reach people beyond this forum.
If we don't act now no one will be able to act later when it matters.
