Give em hell

When I was in New York in August I managed to snaffle one of the coveted limited edition Marc Jacobs bags that was produced in support of Al Gore's campaign for action against global warming. The former Next President of the United States is having some impact - conversation on the subway (when it wasn't about Mel Gibson's drunken tirade against Jews) was all abuzz about Al. In Australia, the excellent GetUp! organisation is hitting cyberspace with an email petition devised to show how much concern there is here in the suburbs about what seems like an increasingly pig-headed and moribund stance on the issue by the Howard government. Sign the petition and get yourself put on a map of Australia so our politicians can see which electorates are mad as hell and not going to take it anymore. This is an issue that does - and should - cross party lines. To sign the petition go directly here. I think more of us should adopt give 'em hell as a modus operandi. Time to retire "she'll be alright."
