135. Did you even read my post?
I have not heard ANYTHING about this strike other than on here. Even if only 5% take part? You'll be lucky to get 1%! You honestly think 15 million people are willing to give up a day's pay to make a point that'll be shoved aside by the media, if covered at all and ignored by bush and the people you're striking against? Leave your internet bubble and go out in the real world and talk to people. It takes more than a fraction of the liberal blogosphere to hold a general strike with any meaning. And you're suggesting people who are in perilous financial condition take part to make a point? Fine, you support them for the pay they lose. Some people have to deal with the real world. I'll participate in a general strike when there's more than 1000 people from blogs participating.
