Reply #6: We have still NOT rioted. [View All]

We resent the fact that CEO's are getting bonuses as their low-level employees are fired. But we don't charge their houses, tie up the CEO's, and make them watch as we roast their wives, mistresses and small children on their huge barbecue spits before we behead them. THAT is rioting.

We are pissed at the Pink Tutu Congresspeople who are still bending over for the Republicans...



...but we aren't gathered in mobs outside their houses, carrying torches and burning their expensive shrubbery. And maybe torching their family pets, while we're at it. THAT is rioting.

We're mad that Bush got away with everything, but we haven't dragged him and frog-marched him and Cheney to the Hague, in numbers so great that his Secret Servicemen are overwhelmed. THAT is rioting.

We have still NOT rioted. What was described in the article was not a riot. It was the equivalent of writing a Letter to the Editor. Americans do not get angry enough to riot, and we haven't been that angry unless we were black and living in Watts in the 60's.

On edit: Sorry, I haven't yet picked up the new Pink Tutu picture that puts Pelosi's picture on one of Daddy Dubya's pink-tutu'd ballerinas.
