and as far as the jobs thing go....look at it this way: i dont know the exact numbers, but there are alot more institutions now than even 10 years ago. that means alot more kids passing in and out, and alot more kids emotionally scarred and pissed off for life. currently, there are very few program survivors age 35+, unless you count straight or synannon. most natsap/aspen/wasps survivors are in their teens and 20's. at that age, you cant do much. of the age 35+ program survivors, very few went on to become lawyers, politicians, millionares etc. we now have tens of thousands of kids coming out of programs every year. there all pissed off. there are bound to be quite a few who go on to lead successfull lives, and be able to make a difference weather it be finacially, politically, or legally; and instead of a flock they will have an an Army of survivors at their side. i can see massive protests happening in D.C ten years from now, and fornits by then will have evolved into THE hub for the movement.
I don't know that Fornits, or any other one site, can remain a hub of something that is, by definition, an ad hoc, ever shifting distributed network. That's cool with me! Lord, but it will be nice when more sites like this emerge and we're not wearing such a huge target on our backs!*
I think we fit right into the
this poor bastard. Jump on in, the water's
fine!]
