6. I agree -- there won't be a revolution
any potential leader will be in some sort of "retraining" camp.

What I'm saying (or the theory of Group Psychology/Mass Sociology says) that the Masses will rise up when they reach a breaking point. This won't be organized -- and people will follow without thinking.

One example of Mass Sociology reacting to a traumatic event can be seen in the 90% approval ratings that bushie got post 9/11 -- however I was part of the 10% who will never trust that fuckfaced SOB ever.

If I can see the signs because I have been educated the theory of Group Psychology/Mass Sociology -- you can be sure that "their" side has experts who know how to manipulate the masses.

The masses aren't going to listen to us -- we are (dirty word) liberals. We don't have control of the Propaganda News Networks.

But at some point the bush gang may just steal too much and push the masses too far -- and then Mass psychology will take over -- and then people will be acting on a primitive level. But it won't be an organized movement -- because as you said -- any potential leader will be suicided, executed, assassinated, made irrelevant, ridiculed, jailed, and/or terminated.

I believe that our job is to bear witness -- many of us here are probably "participant observers" -- it is our job to record for future generations what we saw and did to stop the bush crime family. We are making a recording now for future generations to review -- imagine that 50 or 200 years from now graduate students will be writing their PhD papers on a group of dissidents who debated about the condition of the world and were concerned about the generations to follow.
