The recent demonstration in New Zealand is interesting.
Obviously the message has become diluted down there since Mrs Bette
Overell retired.
But there is much more than that going on.
Why do other people not just *come to the point* as Tom did in his
article in 'MOBILIZE !' in June 1990?

See the contrast between Tom's approach and that of all other
campaigners.
Tom said in 1990:
"As time goes on and as the scientific errors multiply and intensify,
informed people should be getting anxious. Vivisection is the cause
not only of medical disasters but also of chemical pollution which now
threatens to destroy us all. This is not just another reform movement;
this is self-defence. We are fighting for our lives against false
medicine and against chemical pollution rooted in false animal tests."
He want on to state what had become obvious by 1990, that there is no
parliamentary road to abolition, and that passing out information to
the public was equally futile, which left only one way forward - co-
ordinated worldwide citizens arrests of all known vivisectors, and
subsequent court cases, which would force the issue out into the open
for the entire population to be confronted with it and to have to deal
with it.
The DEAFENING SILENCE which greeted Tom's article of 1990 is one of
the most unmentionable taboos of all time.
There is an explanation for it, and I have supplied that explanation
in my other writings.
Above all, it is a lesson in human psychology. The surrender of 1990
is an opportunity for us all to get to know ourselves.
