PROJECT CULTURE WAR:  Become a CultureGuardian, a Culture Warrior.  Take up the good fight in the CultureWar in the following ways:

Record advertizers during a perverted, twisted, or violent television show.  Write to them and threaten boycott. Another idea is to write to talk show hosts, both radio and those daytime television morning “Today” type shows.  Your local TV stations produce morning and sometimes lunch time shows.  Email them about a vile video/computer game (like Grand Theft Auto) explaining how harmful it is.  For example, tell them about a kid you know got sucked into it and is now a recluse who wouldn’t know how to catch a ball to save his life. Talk show hosts love this kind of stuff and they have the audience to make a difference.   Report to us on your findings so we can join in your effort of boycotting. Organize a letter/email writing campaign based on your information.  Put Culture War Boycott in the subject line.  If you design your own letter writing campaign as Sir Melchior did in Fall of 2006, for example, please post about it to our New Templars forum so members can join.  Sir Melchior made letter writing campaigns on two websites.  One was trying to make English the official language in the USA to protect the linguistic heritage of the country, and one was boycotting goods from China since they still to this day use slave labor as most of their labor force.

PROJECT CAUSE:  Choose another causein this world.  Lord knows there are many causes needing stalwartnon-cowardly fighters such as yourself to champion them.  You are awalker of the warrior path, so use that skill to help get things done, tomake things happen — or at the very least to get your voice heard.  Ifno one says anything about some injustice it is almost as bad as if no onedoes anything to correct an abuse or injustice.  Sometimes getting themessage out, making at least one voice be heard (yours), is just as importantas actually fighting a battle, just as important as healing the suffering and abused, as important as protectingthe endangered.  Design a letter-writing campaign or some other formof activism.

TWO BOOK REPORTS
You need to read two books and send in two book reports to fulfil thisrequirement.  Choose any book on the Templars (except those by Butler& Dafoe) and write a book report.  There are a zillion to choosefrom.  Some are definitely speculation and full of historical inaccuraciessuch as the Templar Revelation, but there are some good ones, too.  Goto your bookshelf, or go to Amazon.com and do a search with the term “Knights Templar”.  Here are some other members have used, but you areallowed to choose a book not shown here….
