It might seem that we live in a bright new digital democracy
when from our fingertips we send each other messages of ease
and change from the comfort of our lap tops and i-phones.
But like direct democracy vs representative democracy
-where we get to vote once every five years or so-
real change can only come from direct action, not an X in a box.
Signing online petitions are okay but rarely help any cause
as much as the petitioners say it does-though sometimes
the right money in the right places has a positive effect.
