What real activism looks like

These kids are going out on tour across the country, writing songs about the abusive program they were all incarcerated in together owned by a company called WWASPS which apparently has many of these abusive facilities. It's inspiring to see the youth taking such affirmative and artistic action to combat the propaganda of the industry and the ignorants who permeate most of the discussion.

Props to these kids!

Hey, I think it's great... doesn't sound like they've found Fornits yet, maybe I didn't look hard enough.

Guest, be nice....... I wouldn?t be that hard on them, they seem like good kids and they just want to push back a little , write some songs in protest to the schools and programs they attended.  Look at it like graffiti.  We didn?t have the internet when we were kids so we couldn?t express ourselves this way, the myspace is great, let them yell and protest, lets not make fun of them.  I mean some of the pictures are fake, like that guy in the yellow shirt with that little guy sitting next to him that was cut and pasted in (whats up with that?) They are both wearing $50 shirts, not sure what this is telling us, must be the intake office or something.  But they like Floyd and Zepplin, they cant be all bad!!

Yup. These boys think she is the cat's meow. Izzahell too, apparently.
In my experience, those who suggest they might want to re-think this alliance are told something along the lines of: fuk off, we think they're wonderful and you suck.  We are against ALL programs, but CACA and PURE  are great, and you are a lying motherfukken extremist.

And isn't ISAC a watch dog group? Why would you expect ISAC to be doing anything about WWASP anyway?

ISAC has done plenty about WWASP, and they got suied for their trouble.  But who said anything about ISAC? Did I miss something?

I think you are right. I bet the owners of SCL love to have songs written about them and the girl who committed suicide there. These kids are just a group of regular old programmies!!  :roll:

The anonymous  don't like it, TheWho, and the former staff members don't like it.  You all have a lot in common it would seem.
