| 35. bingo. we have a winner here! |

although i think the *taking it to the streets* thing COULD happen -- if not over the corporate rape of America, then for the coming H2O wars.
However, everyone is too busy hanging on to their jobs right now to make it happen, and they know it.
i think the problem about getting together is geographic. tell you what: we should make my lovely, blood-red state of Kansas the meeting point! Halfway for everybody ... stop by on my back deck, pull up a chair. BBQ and beer for all! oh, wait ...
seriously, i'm up for some serious demonstrations if DC wasn't so damned far away and financially impossible to get to ... that's probably what they're *banking* on (sorry) ...

Not saying they do, just that they could. Of course there have been many protesting the invasions. |
