64. See my reply to TahitiNut above. As a society, we are simply unwilling
to make even the most petty sacrifice to make the changes that are required (as evidenced by the utter failure of "not one damn dime day" even here in this bastion of "liberalism").

A general strike would wreak havoc with the economy and scare the ruling class into action and I think most of us realize, and are terrified by this, though most won't admit it. We've witnessed 40 years or more of the constant erosion of our national character, sacrificed what we know to be right on the alter of "making it", and mortgaged the lives of future generations, all so that we can pretend to not know what is going on.
