Avaaz impressed me, they started a campaign which questions themselves. I didn’t imagine that this might happen one day. I told them my opinion:

Avaaz has a fundamental problem: their principal goal is to move the masses. This goal is partly in conflict with goals like “Promote peace”, “Search for truth” etc.

Suggestion: every campaign should take care to also document “the other side”, those who did not sign, and why. Without this you have no chance to become the voice of humanity. Switch your song from single voice to a polyphonic song.

But I don’t believe that they will seriously consider what I told them…
