Carrotmob and the Power of the People
Thanks to Dean Shareski’s post I am now familiar with Carrotmob, and I must say, I am extremely impressed with the intent of the group (and the thought behind it).

If I were a history teacher I think I might want to share this video clip with my students when we discuss the Civil Rights Movement, boycotts, sit-ins, etc. as another example of how organized people can make a difference in a non-violent ways.
