When do we start hurling rocks, Palestine-style?

[giantrobot_2000]

Seriously, what will it take to get people to flood the streets?

Patriot Act II? Another Florida in 2004?

1. the draft

[WhoCountsTheVotes]

2. I think that's probably right

I don't think a draft will go down easily. Depends on how it's done I guess.

3. Draft

"Depends on how it's done I guess."

Two choices: Syria or Iran.

Take your pick.

4. A lot of young Republicans would become ill or gay overnight....

...if the government could compell them to REALLY "support" Bush's wars...Not just with lip service, but with combat service...

5. There is a patriot act II

6. When we got something to throw them at.

What are we gonna throw them at? The COPS? Soccer Moms in big Denalis with "Bush/Cheney '04" stickers? Each other? Little dogs and kitties?

I think if you pulled the plug on Cable TV you'd have everyone in the streets in a day. unfortunately, for the wrong reason.

7. presumably at the people who would then shoot us?

I've been around long enough, seen enough go down, to know that rock throwing's going to be met with rubber bullets, then real ones, the minute a gathering of rabble starts throwing rocks at cops. There won't be another L.A.-type riot again in our lifetimes. See the latest police action in Miami for a taste.

9. Rocks...?

We're a nation of citizens with over 180 million weapons in our
possession.
Rocks...? I don't think so...

8. cancelling elections or more fraud might do it too

If Bush pulls another fast one, or if God forbid he uses a terrorist attack as a pretext to cancel, postpone, or otherwise sabotage the election, it will be ugly I would think.

10. There will be no hurling of rocks.

Palestine-style or otherwise.

I'm locking.
