with pitchforks and torches.

:-(

6. most will spontaneously figure it out after we bomb Iran or a bomb goes off here as a pretext to
take away the rest of our rights.

3. Even the one-day strike
has been effective in other countries, but is almost unheard of here. The outrage just isn't widespread enough...

8. The Draft
the only way the public will really do something to try and end the war is if their kids are drafted.

13. At vigils and peace marches, there is a noticable lack of 20- and 30-somethings
When I ask others attending why they think that is they all say the same thing - it's because there is no draft. If there was, younger people would be in the streets like they were during Viet Nam.

10. Anything ignored by the media is ignored by Americans!
Look at how well they have hidden Dennis Kucinich from the country and no one even pays attention or tries to educate themselves on him. If the media say it doesn't exist, the sheeple follow that lead, Dennis who? Strike what?

11. Its amazing isn't it. I always think about the 20+ CIA agents pending trial in Italy
for kidnapping. One of the biggest court cases against the CIA of the century in potential "doesn't exist".

12. Sleight of hand
If you didn't see it, it didn't happen.

The media is doing this in a greater regard...just wait til the internet gets un-neutral...beyond rumor and speculation, news won't get to us...just propaganda.

In a world like that, they could convince people that the world is flat again.

I hate dark ages.
