BoingBoing on MondoGlobo

Some good pro and con arguments in the comments thread.

I worry when overall philosophical ideas are turned into cute catch-phrases and "projects" Yes, we know that our freedoms and liberties have been drastically impinged on (and dimantled) by a myriad of government agencies - but RU Sirius' idea of forming a coalition called "QuestionAuthority" (and The Mondo-Globo Network!) is too little too late. The largest upsurge in anti-authoritarian protest and grass-roots organization occurred in the late 60s and early 70s and look what it got us...iPods and "American Idol" - in other words, for the most part your average global citizen is pretty much incapable of questioning authority and is happiest when he or she is simply entertained (me included)

and...

To everyone who, like me, has the instinctive reflex to cynically dismiss calls like this: please take a step back and consider. Is the "QuestionAuthority" proposal pie-in-the-sky? Probably. Will it change the face of politics? Probably not. But it might. Sillier, less likely forces have changed the world before, and you never know which confluence of well intentioned, smart people will suddenly swell into a powerful movement given enough initial support. Support this proposal, put some effort into making it a reality. If it fails, it fails, but at least it won't have failed because of you.
