Reply #28: Very optimistic... i hope you're right, but i don't see the evidence

What's going in washington with regard to the PA and Domestic Spying right now, tells a different, darker story.

there's no way once Fascistic laws enshrined in actual legal statutes, constitutional amendments, and "general agreement" within the ruling class, there is no turning back without a peoples revolt .

the media will make sure the people won't revolt, by muddying up the issues, or not reporting the story. and the so called two party system is permanently married with the blessings of SCOTUS.

What's going on in Washington, with essentially only Feingold fighting nearly as the lone voice in the wilderness to protect our rights, and the constitution from being shredded - it is impossible to drum up optimism.

The party bosses will have to come out in full swing to reverse everything this coming week - on monday - to committ acts of civil disobedience themselves if necessary in order to make this regime cease and desist the crimes they have committed on this country - and i no longer hold a flicker of hope that the Dems have any intention of doing what needs to be done NOW. (the notion that we have to wait until victory in '06 is a proven canard - this has proven to be untrue)
