My hopes are to use the internet as an organizing tool to find like minded people who could find common dates to hold rallies. If the Egyptians on their message board responded how you responded, there would have been no Arab Spring. My hopes are to find people who will say "that's a damn good idea", not," well why don't you go protest yourself. I'm not interested, but you should protest. Yah, just be a lone guy on the street holding up a cardboard sign". This isn't helpful.
