As a follower and volunteer coordinator for Aaron Russo in 2006 I got targeted for my patriotic actions. I was a wee bit too high on the radar. . Award winning film producer Russo was exposing the Federal Reserve and the Internal Revenue System in his documentary film "America - Freedom to Fascism". I held some successful get togethers with Russo and his volunteers here in Los Angeles and coordinated participation in some peace marches with those volunteers where we marched with signs proclaiming "Want to End The War In Iraq? Shut Down The Federal Reserve".
And I was rewarded with getting my checking account statement in my mailbox ripped open (after they saw my vapid bank account balance they finally left me alone lol), finding my vehicle's windows shattered and documents in my Ford Escort left in a different disarray than I had left them, being almost run off the road and other highlight reel experiences.
When I looked at the shattered car window on the street I said to myself, "son, you are doing something right but you are doing something wrong". And I did back off a bit to get off the radar. But I now have a very popular blog for the freedom movement and the Ron Paul Revolution (which originated with Aaron Russo incidentally).
There are so many revolutions occuring right now that one has to have a score card. One of these is a revolution that even the most timid can participate in because it is totally anonymous. And it is anonymous naturally, not because of anybody's attempt for self preservation.
This is a revolution to fight back against the automobile makers and the oil corporations.

Were you aware...
1. That Exxon made $8 billion in profits in 2007 while fuel prices for consumers doubled and tripled.
2. That the price for a barrel of crude oil was $18 before Sept 2001 and is now over one hundred dollars and this is continuing to soar
3. That an automobile 100 years ago did 40% better on fuel mileage than a car in 2008
4. That the average car only utilizes 20% of the fuel that you put into the engine which is why you have a catalytic converter... to eliminate the unburnt, unused fuel as emissions
5. That if a gallon of fuel costs $3.30, 10% of that goes to inflation (so .30 cents) and about fourty seven cents goes to taxation of some kind. So about 25% of what we spend on fuel goes to the government.

As with any bad situation in society, if individuals combine and take action positive change can still be brought about.
As regards gas prices the best approach is to opt out completely. No, I am not recommending to walk and ride your bicycle to the office like they do in Japan. I am here to tell you that you can convert your gas engine to hydrogen and never have to pump another gallon of gas again. Even if you only convert to a hybrid you will be saving up to 35% on gas consumption, maybe more. So unless the government puts nazi inspectors in charge of looking of your automobile's engine, this would be a inherently anonymous activity and an effective revolution!
Also you will be empowering your car to perform better, also you will be doiong something effective to bring about cleaner air for all of us to live in and you can have the satisfaction of knowing that you are active in a revolution against the automobile makers and oil companies and you can say that with regards to the price of gas ... "we ain't buyin' it anymore"
