checklist for serious "activists"

I see the term bandied about so much, and yet, truly, what is an "effective activist"

Have you:

Been arrested?
Been threatened directly by a police officer?
Gotten another person arrested?
Made jokes about what's illegal?
Broken a law willingly within 30 days?
Broken a felony level law within 90 days?
Deleted a few things from a checklist like this because you worried people weren't ready for the truth?
Gotten caught telling seriously bad taste jokes?
Lost friends from the other side?
Broken off a relationship because of ideology?
Never vote for mainstream parties, even for local office?
Wish you had a robodialer?

Ok, maybe the last one is a bit silly, but still.
