OJ Temperance, as well intentioned as he is, does not realize that direct action is as old as apple pie

We don't teach kids labor history, for example

And the kids from my brother in law's previous marriage, they are a perfect example of this too... none of them ever
read the US Constitution in HS. One of them is going to college, sort off... the other two have no interest. A Fourth of July I gave them a copy of the constitution. They are not pricey copies, but your basic dollar a piece you could find at Borders.

They looked at me, and actually said... do we have to read this?

Yes. You should this is the most important book you could ever read and understand. YOUR rights are in there.

But it's hard to undersdand... and we left it at that.

And if one of them had read it, when he got in a bit of trouble with the local law, would have known to keep his mouth shut until
a lawyer showed up... instead he admitted to everything they wanted him to admit to... now here is how weak of a case it was... the DA refused to proceed with it, never mind he had an admission for all intents and purposes.

That is why I said and we failed them as a society

And right now what is going on.... is the planting of a wedge and I suspect it is because that draft is coming... and the powers that be realize that we will be in the streets in a NY Minute, but they realize the kids will not... at least long enough to draft a significant number of them with little fuss and little muss.

What I base this upon? The war in Iran is commimg... and after the Fifth Fleet and other troops are slaughtered, well where do you think they will find the replacement troops? Volunteers? Hardly. And yes, Bushy boy will be left with that in his record as well... and if he puts us in the midst of WW III... you can bet that draft will expand to many boomers who have served, with honor, and will be recalled. The only reason it has not been brought back, even though it makes sense from a tactical and strategic point of view; if this is such a war of civilization.. you do not fight a world war with three hundred thousand troops, the draft would be in place and should be in place. This shows how much of a lie the war currently is. But the next step... will force their hand. Why? The military's back is fully and completely broken.

So this wedge and how the young are falling for it... tells me... some in the policy field know this... and need to separate the kids who right now have a don't bother me attitude and we change the world from keyboards, from the old fogies who know better... and have taken the lessons of US History and USED them.

As they say... I no longer believe in coincidences. Of course we must ask... why Obama? After all, HE IS a boomer.
