OK... For all those sitting here bitching about the current situation...

[BlackHawk706867]

(Politically in the US) Go watch Michael Moore's Sicko and then do what the French do when they are pissed at their Government. ie: Hit the streets in massive numbers and don't let up until they are brought down... Sounds simple enough, but it's not and lets not kid ourselves.... But hey, no one said it would be easy to recover from an Administration that has almost 7 years in power with a Congress that worked step in tow with them to defeat the American people..... So, get the "Fuck" up from your couches and keyboards and hit the streets like the French and the Ukraine's do.... Get on with it....

1. It really is simple to hit the streets

BUT today we are given the luxury of sitting at home and complaining at a keyboard, it's sad really cause I know the American people are AFRAID of the government and they will never stand up to them cause a great portion are just afraid.....sad really it is.

2. Where do you

want to meet up and we can start this party.

3. Considering that BlackHawk706867 is in Canada,

I don't expect he will be participating in any movements in the streets of the US. Why don't you get off your ass and away from your keyboard and come down here and organize your ideas??????????

4. Good, then where

should I meet you to start this party? I always love someone telling me how to get shit done when they are unwilling to do it themselves.

5. Let's see ...

There have been lots of protests all over this country .. maybe you haven't seen the coverage .. probably because they never seem to get any MSM coverage ...

Historically in this country .. the "huge" protests have required a bit of planning and organizing .. rather than spontaneous "hit the streets in massive numbers" ...

and why? ... Let's take your France comparison ...

I assume you are referring to protests in the streets of Paris .. n'est pas? (Have you heard about the protests in San Francisco, Washington DC, New York City, etc?) France is a country with a land mass of 260,000 sq mi .. with a population density of about 290 per sq mi. The US on the other hand is a country with a land mass of about 3,700,000 sq mi and a population density of 80 per sq mi. Spontaneous massive street protests aren't really the same here ...

I have great respect for the people of France (and the rest of the world for that matter) .. but people are trying to do a lot more than "bitching" about the "current situation" as they have a lot of situations.

All suggestions are welcome .. particularly the helpful ones.

6. We aren't French or Ukranian

Why would we behave like them?

We're Americans. We're doing this in our own way, in our own culture, and we're making progress .... not as
fast as we'd like, but it is progress.

As I told you in another post, I've protested and protested and protested more. I think we're better off being
active in cyberspace.

8. LOL!

Progress!

9. If you don't think Edwards discussing poverty in the election is progress, well ...

BTW, you've just burned up a ton of DU bandwidth to demean an argument you didn't have the intellectual
rigor to dispute. Good going there, ace. ;)

Welcome to my ignore list. If I want to see animated graphics, I'll go look for them.

11. Oh my I'm being ignored by someone that believes everything would just be great if we could only go

the 90's. Being raped by corporations that contribute to Democrats is so much better than being raped by corporations that donate to the Republiks.

Of course John Edwards will be so much better than Bill Clinton was, after all, he really feels our pain.

7. Oh hell NO!

They'll put embargos and sanctions on our asses and THEN how will we get our plasma TVs?
