56. For all of you wondering when people will take to the streets en masse
I'll tell you when that will happen:

1. When people get cold enough

2. When people get hungry enough

3. When people get generally uncomfortable enough

and

4. When people turn off their cable/satellite.

Any combination of 1-3, along with #4, will produce real revolt, street style.

Until then, don't hold your breath. As long as people are eating, halfway comfortable, and sitting in front of the box, ain't nothing gonna happen.

With the bushies in charge, though, a combo of 1-3 isn't ever too far off.
