Year Later -



Casualties in Iraq and Afghanistan still mounting.
Election in Iraq proves that Democracy doesn't lead to pro-American sentiment.
The word "activist" is now emotionally tinged as liberal and anti-Christian ("Activist Judges" are pro-homosexuality, pro-abortion, etc.); what is the opposite of activist?

What does it mean?

Main Entry: ac·tiv·ism
Pronunciation: 'ak-ti-"vi-z&m
Function: noun
: a doctrine or practice that emphasizes direct vigorous action especially in support of or opposition to one side of a controversial issue
- ac·tiv·ist /-vist/ noun or adjective
- ac·tiv·is·tic /"ak-ti-'vis-tik/ adjective

So the opposite would indicate indirect, sluggish action, or could it mean that one doesn't oppose any controversial issue? Status quo? Let the Government have its way...
