A person or individual who chats, posts or postures about social change but does nothing more than just that. A chatactivist will never actually do the work or make personal changes needed to impact or make the social and / or environmental change actually happen that they appear to be promoting.
Susan, a chatactivist, posts on Facebook all the time about the need to not eat GMO foods while regularly having her daily lunch at McDonald's. Tom blogs regularly about all the local protests for social change, but yet he has never been known to attend a protest making him appear to be a chatactivist. Due to the fact that Karen tells her co-workers why they should donate to charities yet Karen has never been able to show she herself has donated, her co-workers call her a chatactivist. showing that she has ever donated. Sandy didn't consider herself a chatactivist even though she was smoked two cigarettes while she was preaching to others about the chemicals in our air and rivers.

Get the daddy chanka mug.Fought October 26th, 1813, between the American forces under the command of Genl. Hampton and an entirely Canadian force under the command of Charles de Salaberry.
De Salaberry divided his force of 1500 Canadian regulars, militia and indians, between 5 lines of defence, constructed out of wood, known as Abatis. Using the river to cover his left flank, and the forest to cover his right, de Salaberry awaited the inivitable American attack. As an added precaution, he also destroyed the bridges leading to the defenses, which would make it impossible for the American Artillery to join in battle later.
The Americans were aware of his position, and made plans to flank it. One brigade, with 1500 soldiers, crossed the Chateauguay river and proceeded through the wilderness without a road or usefull guide. It wound up spending the entire night on the march.
When the fighting commenced, the Americans engaging the first abatis were unable to scatter its defenders (although a skirmish line before the defenses withdrew at the opening of the battle). Meanwhile the other brigade across the river found itself assailed by two companies of Canadian militia, and under fire from more soldiers across the river.
Despite being horribly outnumbered, (out of a force of 1500, only about 320 actually participated in the fighting), the Canadians convinced the Americans that they, in fact, were the ones outnumbered. Using the force's trumpets, the Americans were made to believe more soldiers were advancing unseen through the woods.
This, plus the Canadians' feisty defense, compelled Hampton to withdraw his army. In the process, he also abandoned the bridade which had crossed the river the previous day, forcing them to construct a bridge to escape later.
In a rather embarrassing event, a number of American officers were seen asking for assistance to cross the river, having abandoned their troops in the woods. These officers were ignored.
After the battle, Hampton revealed that his force had taken some 50 casualties. Other estimates probe far higher, but the Canadians themselves offer the best guess at America's loss, documenting that they buried more than 40 American dead. Canadian losses were officially 2 dead, 17 wounded, and a number missing. However, other documents place dead ranging from 4-5, wounded from 17-22, and up to 5 missing.
According to legend, the Canadians who formed the skirmish line before the abatis, camouflaged themselves with cloaks woven from fallen red maple leaves.

Get the Battle of Chateauguay mug.For someone who grew up in a town where you had to worry about being kidnapped, stabbed, beaten and mugged, not a bad place to grow up.
Maybe the people are snobby, and that's wrong, but having snotty neighbors beats having neighbors that raped the little girl that moved into your old house.
Being rich, drunk and snobby is obnoxious, but complaining about how rich drunk and snobby everyone else is and about how boring it is here is pretty obnoxious, too.
Be thankful for what you've got and what you haven't had to put up with and worry about for the last however many years and shut the fuck up.
Chatham is a nice place, Chatham High School is a great school (number two in the state) and the drinking, cheating and snobbery happens in any other suburban high school. A much better definition would be whiny, rich kids who don't appreciate what they've got.

I'm glad we moved to Chatham so that I could get a damned good education and not have to worry about elementary school knife fights.
