And I realise there's an issue here for me... I've been a "protesting" activist for the most part. In other wards, while I've not (I'm pretty sure) been "hating", I have been working on outrage. And I've never been that interested in what might be thought of as "love" activism -- helping others. My sympathies have always been with the underdog, rather than those in power, but my method of helping has been to fight against the powerful rather than directly helping the oppressed.
Food for thought for me...
