Who among you feels they have been well served by the government and their banker friends?
Infinite growth collides with finite energy.

It has to change for America sake!
Define "it" and "change"....what exactly has to change?
You seem to want to go backwards, the past wasn't as glorious as you may think it was.

The people who are cheated are the citizens who trusted the banks with their savings. It is better to have the criminal banks crash, because only that will provoke a serious reform. I hope we are getting closer to the time when citizens will rise up and get violent. It is very healthy for governments and politicians (and bankers) to get their asses kicked, to be put in the tumbril and sent to the guillotine. This must be done every several generations to keep them afraid, because nothing on earth will keep them honest except fear. The Bush regime postponed the guillotine by mis‐directing the fear of citizens toward Muslims, and avoided a quick military coup at home by sending most soldiers to Iraq and Afghanistan where they are no danger to Washington. I may have put this very simply, but there are times when things need to be put simply.
Simply put. When people fear the government, you have tyranny. When government fears the people, you have liberty. As for me, give liberty or give me death.

"The very word "secrecy" is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths and secret proceedings. We decided long ago that the dangers of excessive and unwarranted concealment of pertinent facts far outweighed the dangers which are cited to justify it. Even today, there is little value in opposing the threat of a closed society by imitating its arbitrary restrictions. Even today, there is little value in insuring the survival of our nation if our traditions do not survive with it. And there is very grave danger that an announced need for increased security will be seized upon those anxious to expand its meaning to the very limits of official censorship and concealment. That I do not intend to permit to the extent that it is in my control. And no official of my Administration, whether his rank is high or low, civilian or military, should interpret my words here tonight as an excuse to censor the news, to stifle dissent, to cover up our mistakes or to withhold from the press and the public the facts they deserve to know."

I dont fear revolution, i fear the government that will be in place afterwards.
I agree a revolution is in order, especially in the US, but my big worry is that the system that will replace the current democracy will be much worse. We simply have to look at the posts here to understand. Everyone wants a revolution, but no one is offering up advice on what should be done once its accomplished.
I will not follow the revolution until solid ideas are presented for what will be done after.

Waste of time trying to reboot the government. In no time it'd be corrupted again because that's what men fall to. Greed, avarice, lust for sex, power and riches. That is what drives this world. Man cannot be happy with what he has, he has to always be taking it from someone else so he can have more and in abundance. I don't want this world and i damn sure do not want to raise any kids in it. I just want to go home.

I just turned 57 this year. I look back and do not know exactly when the country started going to pot, but I have not been satisfied with one single president since JFK. They have all been a bunch of crooks!

We are all on a list somewhere. One more post will not kill you.

All we really have to do is quit electing DEMOCRATS and REPUBLICANS. Then we can go after the Bankers and Wall Street once we have politicians who love America more than they love power and money.

Once we control the justice system, they will be very afraid.

Yes, I am willing to pay the consequences. I have done nothing illegal.

Yes they should.

Remember those that will come (police and military) have families that live under the same restrictions we do. Their homes get foreclosed and they lose retirement accounts they have paid into just like we do. Chances are they are just as frustrated too.

I am happy that things have gone relatively well for you.
