You're right, nothing. Everyone should just go home and accept their fate. Obviously, things will get better if we keep our mouths shut. Let's draw no attention to the problems we face, unless they're on every newspaper in America and every other TV channel on cable they're not real problems so we should just ignore them.
Hear that Tea Party? Stop protesting, it won't accomplish anything.

So you cant see it live on tv-news. Has to be a conspiracy? If it is anything noteworthy the news will say it.
I hope You don't really believe that...
If something is noteworthy and plays well in Their hand, You'll hear all about it. If something was noteworthy but weakens Their hand... You'l be lucky to hear a peep.

Why not protest the Federal Reserve? Printing more money and driving up inflation is more a crime than insider trading. Criminal Wall St. doesn't affect me as much as big government. I mean, sure they sleep in the same bed but govt. is the enabler.

It comes down to the corporate elite who what to control and profit on the monopoly of supplying the worlds energy. Since the energy crisis of the 70's, the U.S. congress has ignored focusing on a developing an energy policy. Instead of planning and using some of the military budget to support research into new energy, they completely folder under the pressure of lobbyists and campaign contributors.
Using war and invading other countries on the basis of controlling the flow of oil is not only barbaric, but goes against everything this country is supposed to stands for! Just because we're the big boy on this rock doesn't give us the right to rape another countries resources.
I'm sure we Americans would be mad as hell if the shoe was on the other foot!

Indeed. I wouldn't argue the point. I'm just wondering the motive of the majority of the folks who showed up to wave signs. Do they really have a grasp on the true breadth of the ambit here?
Either pick up a gun and fight, or move to the country like I did and start growing your own corn.....
