53. Maybe violence isn't the answer...
But I can't help but think that if FDR had Prescot Bush shot for treason for running shiploads of oil to the Nazi's AFTER the war started that lot's rather than giving him a stern talking to, that lots of future problems would have been avoided.

If power refuses to listen to words then perhaps actions are called for. The question is what actions. MLK and Ghandi would simply call for and get huge general strikes and boycotts and cut off the bastards income. But that won't work in the media saturated USA, so does anyone have an idea?
