The most powerful thing you can do is to not get angry.
You have to calmly and logically come to the conclusion that you're going to have to change things. You have to realize, this is not acceptable any longer. We must change this nation, and all nations where this oligarchy might hide out. It's not just America, it's China. It's India. It's Russia. It's the EU. It's all the various countries south of here. And don't forget the Aussies, mate. :P

It's a world problem. It's a world economy now, this isn't just about America. If we let these people escape to other parts of the world, it will become a protracted engagement, like the Cold War. That must not happen. They must be brought to justice. And justice in this case, is living like a normal person. Or something closer to one.

The world where a certain class of people owns the other classes, where it is cared about more and can hold hostage the others, simply must end.

Don't get mad, don't even get even, just change the world for the better.

I myself was of the attitude that we need to get angry, then some kind man slipped me a briefcase with $100,000 in it. :P

OK, maybe not, but I can dream can't I?

PS: If you are rich and want to buy me off, my price is well north of $100,000. More like $100,001. I need the dollar for bus fare.

1. OK, I can meet that price.
Soon as I persuade Obama to give it to me out of the stimulus account.

5. My favorite example of how well a calm response works is
the scene where Indiana Jones blows the cretin away with one shot!

6. If they own the government and they own the lawyers and they own the cops...
its kind of difficult to strike a blow.
