How to Be Invisible
http://www.howtobeinvisible.com/index.cfm/page/Books
How to get and maintain privacy in an era of the government openly spying on its citizens, harassing fourteen year old girls for making political commentary, and sanctioning torture and illegal detainment.
[pasted from comments to Badtux.net] I think that nearly anyone who opposes the current regime can answer no when we look at it honestly. But honestly, I've given up. Why you might ask? Ultimately, what will be will be. Nothing lasts forever and once this regime ends another will take it's place. If you want to change the world you need yourself. If enough people looked to themselves and their business, who knows what would happen, but for right now, I can only try to make my little corner of the world a little nicer while planning for the worst. I no longer feel safe speaking my mind, practising my religion publicly, or protesting the inhumanities that are being committed each and every day. So when I protest, it will be with my face and head covered, my religion will go underground, I will be purchasing weapons and learning to survive, and when it comes time, I'll be ready to leave and disappear before they can throw me into an gov't facility for "reeducation". Extreme, maybe. Selfish, absolutely. But as I said, in the end, you can only take care of yourself. BTW, I've posted two links of interest. One, a protest group, the other is a book by an author who worked underground in an activity that was at that time illegal under the regime of Generalissimo Francisco Franco.

Women in Black
http://www.womeninblack.net
Women In Black New York stand in silent vigil to protest war, rape as a tool of war, ethnic cleansing and human rights abuses all over the world. We are silent because mere words cannot express the tragedy that wars and hatred bring. We refuse to add to the cacophony of empty statements that are spoken with the best intentions yet may be erased or go unheard under the sound of a passing ambulance or a bomb exploding nearby.
Our silence is visible. We invite women to stand with us, reflect about themselves and women who have been raped, tortured or killed in concentration camps, women who have disappeared, whose loved ones have disappeared or have been killed, whose homes have been demolished. We wear black as a symbol of sorrow for all victims of war, for the destruction of people, nature and the fabric of life.How to Be Invisible
