8. Full blown revolution
Edited on Sun Dec-12-10 03:02 PM by TatonkaJames
If we haven't become mad enough over the past 10 years then I feel
we have been beaten down so much we have no desire to fight back except for
constant posts on the web which do nothing unless it's majestic like
Wikileaks. Even when polls show our representatives we want no tax breaks for
the wealthy they ignore it like we have no say, which is evident in the
legislation they're trying to pass.
And we lack opposition leaders like we had in the 60's. I would like
nothing more than to take the leadership role and form and organize
rallies and demonstrations but no one would show up for fear of being
arrested or beaten or losing their jobs which they need more than anything today.
But that's how we got the Civil Rights Act and helped stop the war in Vietnam.

Of course today they would find that leader dead of suicide - eh-hem ....
