31. Makes me think of some weird saying:
"What if they held a war and nobody showed up?"

as much as i feel the sane are leaving and the reich is moving in, it gives me hope knowing that 1/2 of america is just not enough of america to keep america running. if we just refused to cooperate the whole thing comes screeching to a halt. these FBI and CIA, as shady and scary some of them have been, now need our support because they are giving the canary in the mine shaft warning that bad nasty stuff is coming this way. if we got serious about 'opting out' then all their plans would falter. there's just not enough people to operate a nation this big if the rejections were 1/2 of america.

now if we can create a monthly 'sick out' where we slowly grind the machine down to a halt. i propose spacing out your sick leave throughout the year (if you can) and just not show up for work on the 2nd of each month (squish it next to a weekend if necessary for a fun 3 day weekend). gives an opportunity to relax and rejuvinate at least once a month, enjoy hard earned sick leave/paid vacation, savor america before it all disappears (i really am going to miss the america of my memories...), and slow down the ravenous machine. it'd be a nice opportunity to savor the local businesses, enjoy the local sites, appreciate a slower pace of life with family. (but if it puts your livelihood in danger to take your legally protected days off, then don't do it. i know there's some industries, like IT, that demand slave labor hours with no option but to work. i remember what it's like. :) )
