not really...
yeah, lots of people are fat, lazy, and ignorant... but there are 300 million americans, lets say 2/3 are lazy... thats 100 million that aren't... of that, what? 20% are under fighting age, 20% too old?
Thats 60 million americans capable of fighting back... thats quite a number... not to mention with an army big enough, perhaps some of the lazy would get up too.
Never underestimate the power of change. Thats why you always have to do what you believe in, no matter whatever the odds, because the odds can change, but only if someone has the guts to start and stick with it.edit on 19-3-2011 by Odessy because: (no reason given)edit on 19-3-2011 by Odessy because: (no reason given)

I hope people aren't stupid enough to riot. I won't tolerate it.
...
I don't believe in rioting...Obviously, all rioters do is destroy businesses and personal property...Not a good thing to try to do in my neighborhood.
Yep, you are so right. I wonder how many businesses and how much personal property were absolutely ruined by those pesky Boston Tea Party revolutionaries when they went after the poor, put upon British Monarchy and their pitiful little Opium/Tea/Food Cartel!
And I wonder how many of them said at the end of the day that it was fully worth it?edit on 19-3-2011 by Stratus9 because: (no reason given)

LMAO, they could expose all the truth in a marathon of uninterrupted television reports featuring the holders of power themselves, and people will say wow to next day wake-up and get back to work.

My initial knee-jerk response is "Right on! It's about freaking time...yea!!" but yet....a part of me can't help but think...why now all of a sudden? Stuff that WE have known for some time now, why the mainstream now? Anyone care to speculate?

Of course they want to discredit the bankers etc - Good reason then to bring in a World Bank and Government.
The New World Order know exactly what they are doing.
They want to Fu-- things/Us up to such an extreme that many will think A World Bank and Government is the solution.

You are treating this as if everything is one sided, because you are confused on your beliefs. Remain calm and try and think outside the box.
remember.
There is always two sides to a conflict.
You may tie them together as one, but in reality there is always two

Ya know there's a lot of crazy, stupid, paranoid and wild speculation on here about MSNBC... but what seems more likely to me is that non-mainstream left-wingers HAVE BEEN TRYING TO WAKE PEOPLE UP FOR DECADES. And now... FINALLY when some of this trickles into the mainstream media and FINALLY when right-wingers are listening to truly anti-establishment lines of thought, they decide they want their own sh**-kicking version of it instead of ANYTHING that comes from some "hippie liberal" mouth. Thus... none of you can bring yourself to have the intellectual honesty and humility to admit that maybe... perhaps... people like Dylan Ratigan or Rachel Maddow MIGHT BE ON OUR SIDE (which I believe they are more or less, and this is coming from an Anarchist).
Just admit it... perhaps this is an HONEST attempt by Ratigan to actually practice journalistic integrity and uncover some serious underlying issues with our system. Perhaps there is nothing "up" and paranoid conspiracy theories will only serve as disinformation to DISCREDIT serious questioning of the system. It already has... that's why universal healthcare (which is originally very radical and PRO-citizenry) got squashed by double-think propaganda/conspiracy, that is why the issue of global warming WAS ALWAYS an anti-establishment issue environmentalists went through great pains to push but was HIJACKED (all of a sudden once it became a serious mainstream issue) by insane double-think/conspiracy theory to make it look like it was part of some plan by the elites. The same f***ing thing is happening to your minds... you want so badly for your conspiracy theories to be true that you use a twisted/inside-out version of your conspiracies (supposedly/ironically in seeking the "truth") to discredit the very truth you seek.
Could you ever let yourselves think for just a moment that MAYBE perhaps some people in the mainstream WANT the status quo to crumble FOR THE RIGHT REASONS? Perhaps... maybe, someone like Ratigan is behaving properly and fearlessly and might even WANT a sort of revolution against TPTB? No of course you couldn't... because that wouldn't fit nicely into your conspiracy "everyone's-in-on-it!!!" mentality. Start seeing clearly, people, or you'll miss EVEN MORE great opportunities to turn the tables.edit on 19-3-2011 by NoHierarchy because: (no reason given)
