To go to the original question " how do we change our view in society?"
i see a three-fold strategy.
1. we need to sort out our own self-image, personally and as a community
2. the right books, videos, films, documentaries, media that does shift public opinion - through our representative organisations perhaps?
3. one person at a time (Jennifer)
as part of this, educate the professionals - doctors, lawyers, politicians, teachers and heads, student and faculty bodies. this would look like leaflet and media campaigning, it would look like a small channel tv series focussing on CD in particular e.g. on community channel in the uk, it would focus on how harmless the CD is, how actually nice and less violent the CD folk are, perhaps links with quakers or other peaceful or harmless communities
if anyone wants to discuss practical steps and ways to address the initial question of this thread - then contact me, i'm in.
