Stay home one day. Thursday, July 24, 2008. Post your cause, plant your feet. General dissatisfaction, general action, looks like a general strike but invisible. Think The Invisible Man meets The Evil Empire. Step up. Stay home one day. Thursday, July 24, 2008. Post your cause, plant your feet.

Then consider how passive resistance will apply to your primary concern. Example: should seniors stay home and be sure not to call the pharmacy, make medical appointments, attend exercise class, visit friends? How difficult will it be to spend one day contemplating your priorities, writing letters or e-mails to express your concerns, being part of a movement that offers few targets? This is a good place to tell others how you will observe National Sick-Out Day, 24/7 and withhold your consumer power. Or for teens, suppose you stayed home from school and made a list of the kinds of things that you want the world to become as you live your life in the future? What positive needs should be met? Or nurses, police, firemen, air traffic controllers, consider how one day of sick-out would creat short staffing situations and cause you to feel guilty about shirking duty? Do you know anyone who calls in sick the day before or day after a 3-day holiday? Which is the greater transgression: to call in sick to gain an additional personal day, or to call in sick and demonstrate July 24, 2008 that all is not well in the world and you seek changes? What will you do? Share your opinions, please. I am just a Cabbage Head and depend on the thoughts of many others. It is called democracy. First, mark your calendar, July 24, 2008.
