a few more tiny pieces of tealeaves swirling around in the cup.....with no visible focus, no potential "total solar eclipse" that would magically force the.... who, exactly? ....to do or say..... what exactly?

This movement is in big danger of getting washed away from EVER getting central-staged, by the first next piece of disastrous news that actually has a central focus. EG, Oroville going all the way.

I strongly appreciate the desire to make the world a safer place for kids. But I don't foresee any denouement which would "stamp out polio forever" to use a sort-of apropos analogy. Hence, I am currently theorizing that the west will actually slowly become a safer place for kids - but it won't particularly get noticed. It certainly will not stamp out the desire to rentseek by being an "advocate for children". As long as those guys solicit contributions, people will assume that there is some small problem which is mostly under control.

Just some off-the-wall thinking.....

This movement needs some alinsky-ite thinking. first off, there has to be an identifiable goal A "smoking gun" moment. Without that, people will drift off to the next Big Thing..
