I read <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Politics-Jesus-Rediscovering-Revolutionary-Teachings/dp/0385516649" rel="nofollow">The Politics of Jesus</a>: Rediscovering the True Revolutionary Nature of Jesus' Teachings and How They Have Been Corrupted last summer, so I was wishing someone would do this the entire time I was reading Taking On the System. You ought to consider writing an entire book on this. Wonderful!

A key tenet of the book is that tactics for effective social change need to adopt to conforming media trends and social norms.

This is really cool, and I look forward to further installments. Thanks! What a fascinating concept.
