You could not be more right, there is a new breed of activism that is starting to emerge. Within hours of the Al Gore consession, messages from two film industry trade list-serves that I belong to, Women in Film & Video and Web Cinema, started to be posted organizing massive protests at George Bush's inaugration January 20.
