NYCDAT

If you read my last post and your reaction was "nothin' you can do about that", I ask you to think about what it will take for you to believe it's time to do something.  I understand feeling helpless.  I understand feeling too small to make a change.  I feel those things as well.  But please don't shut yourself off from this.  Saying NYCDAT and going on with your life is exactly what the offenders want you to do.  It allows them to act with impunity.  If you can maintain your awareness about how wrong these actions are, you are helping create an environment where the appropriate actions will take place.  This is a crisis.  Don't just set it aside.  Keep it in your mind.  Let it color your perception of events.  Talk about it with loved ones.  Use it to connect with strangers when the situations present themselves. Heck!  Make the situations present themselves.  NYCDAT is wrong.  YOU CAN DO IT!  WE ALL CAN DO IT!
