I'll bet Hagelin could do it, if he were willing to risk putting his neck on the chopping block. It would be a showdown at the OK Corral between him and Bevan.

An interesting idea, and a hopeful one, but as I seem to remember it, the "tipping point" with Joe McCarthy was really precipitated by "the most trusted man in America" taking him on, at peril to his own career and reputation. That was, of course, Edward R. Murrow, arguably the best "newsman" America has ever had. Who might such a person be within the TMO? What would happen, for example, if poster boy David Lynch lined up with the people being declared Off The Program, and thus anathema, and "banned from the domes?" Or Oprah? Or Paul McCartney? If you need to inspire yourself with what one man (or woman) can do if suitably ethical and suitably motivated, I heartily recommend a viewing or re-viewing of the film written and directed by George Clooney, "Good Night, and Good Luck." In it you get to see the face of evil himself, Joseph McCarthy, as he really looked and acted in newsreel footage, and David Strathairn as the voice and face of Murrow, bringing a great actor's "take" to the actual text of Murrow's news broadcasts. The movie touched me deeply, and made me get all teary from time to time, seeing what "the TV News" *used to be*, compared with what it is now. One person -- if they are visible enough and respected enough -- really CAN change things. Why I bring this up is that although ideas themselves are suitable motivators for many people, I don't think that the larger community of TM practitioners -- having been trained for so many decades to be personality worshipers -- are at this point able to react to mere ideas. They need a "spokesperson," a charismatic person to whom they can switch their allegiance and then follow.
