Behavior is learned.

The best way to change behavior is to make the consequences of said behavior pertinent.

I was jsut thinking back to the old days. Like him or not MLK was effective in changing the behavior or black people by putting shoe leather with his directions.

I am troubled at the statement "Directed radical change...". Black people have learned that after the demostrations, marches etc and the cadre has returned to their townhouses and life beyond ground zero we still have to go to work and face the circumstances.

Wouldn't, as King showed us, the cadre directing effort at their level of involvement have a greater effect and do more to spurn the masses to partake in the radical behavior change? Usually it is done down at our level and the powers that be would then contact the cadre remote from the situation and ask that a negoiated settlement be done. the cadre agrees and sips wine with the powers that be and we go back to work and behavior is not affected.

what do you think?
