Don't worry everyone, I have a plan
I can't say what it is right now, but it could revolutionize our power over the red state freeloaders.

5. Is it a tax strike ?
Because I would LOVE to see that. The whole war machine would collapse in a matter of hours. But what would we be holding out for ? Kerry in office ? Pullout of Iraq ? I couldn't quite figure that part out.

7. Is it California secession?
Whatever it is, at least you have a plan. I don't, except to vote Green Party for now on.

17. It may be some time.
I have to contact some resources and find out how to work the business mechanics.

I am afraid to reveal it and have someone steal it.

21. Don't worry. We liberals don't steal business ideas.
Shit, people won't even read the whole message you post. You think they'll start a business and beat you to it?

20. I have an embryonic plan, more of an idea.
I don't want to post it on a public forum. I call it "divide and conquer". It's a way we can manipulate the religious right and exploit the weaknesses in the R. party. A couple of people thought it was worth trying out. Where do we go with our ideas?

I just hope it's not a cunning plan? We don't need any prize turnips right now.

still waiting for you to produce any link or infomation source that shows that the Nazis fancied themselves (as you emphatically assert) Dravidians and not Aryans like everyone knows.

I have asked for this several times since you disparaged me over this and you have never delivered, nor have you admitted you were wrong when provided with ample links that demonstrate the contrary to what you claim.

Dravidians were dark people, Aryans were light skinned people. The Nazis were a white supremecist movent.

This is why I don't bother to often reply to you - you are someone who asserts somethig unfactual and can't admit he is wrong when presented with the facts.

Don't bother to reply unless you are ever going to own up to this. And don't try to malign my character, because you are the person who has none.

32. OK - Here it is:
A credit card.

This card gives you points but they are points that can be used to fund progressive organizations of your choice.

Another facet is that in the business directory, you can also benefit from buying
1. eco friendly products.
2. funding progressive minded business people.

If it is true that we have the economy and the red states are our welfare children, we should be able to use our economic power to starve them out.

So when you buy those twinkies, you should be able to:
1. have the transaction charge profit feed somthing that is working for you
2. also be able to buy steered to "Thinkies" a Twinkie like product, but an alternative that is not as unhealthy and serving a large corp that in the end would just as soon give you a life reminescient of a Tyson chicken.

Perhaps based on the things you buy you could be notified of these alternative products.

Right now, most to all of our economic power is working against us. We are feeding a system to which we are fodder and it's a race to the bottom to suck up our life blood at greater efficiency so that we accept less for our contribution to keep this big machine going.

We can essentially separate out economy and starve theirs.

What do you think?

34. Working Assets does something similar.
http://www.workingassets.com/creditcard.cfm

In fact, I need to tear up my MBNA credit cards and get theirs.

I like the "directory" idea though-- maybe you could flesh it out and approach them with it? That way you only have to do HALF the work instead of ALL the work.

35. Ahh perfect, it does exist.
I was wondering if it could be feasibly pulled of in a modern corporate context.

37. Agree with statement
Half the country is spending money in ways which actually ends up in the hands of those taking away our power. When we watch NBC, very literally we contribute to the Republican National Committee.

If we boycott NBC, not only will NBC change their propagandist tune but they will not be giving money, through GE, to the RNC to keep fascism alive.

38. Count me in.
I will buy everything I can at Costco; the rest at organic markets. It wouldn't hurt to take some gardening classes, either-I had plenty of tomatoes this year, but nothing else grew.

We are celebrating Yule with handmade gifts.

I'm all about a progressive credit card, but what bank would be "tolerant" enough to go for it? Southern Financial (female owned) has been sold to a larger corporation I believe. The rest of them are less than progressive.
