Brian
Every thing you say is right on. I cannot argue a single point.

But
We are a Nation of Sheep. We are content to sit back and watch as our nation crumbles around us.
Oh! We will whine about it. We will come on Message board forums and express our disapproval. We will go on chats and whine.
But when it comes down to getting off the easy chair and sacrificing a little of our leisure time to do anything about it.
Not a Chance.
But...Then you get people like Snake (Sam Wilson) who will get off his easy chair (Well, not exactly, he was homeless, Off the curb) But.....He actually did something
What happened.....He came on here and told us what he did, he got arrested, and what was the reaction? Most of us gave him Chit for breaking the law....Not doing what the cop told him to do...
But by Gosh he was out there trying...Good for him

That is what changes things. Not sitting in front of the computer and whining about it.

In Korea, I think it was Korea, they recently had 10,000 (probably more) people marching and demonstrating protesting the import of American Beef into their Country. Beef for cryin' out Loud. You think that would happen here? Yeah...right...
They are exporting our Jobs and importing goods from all over the world made by those lost jobs and we don't do a damn thing about it but sit and whine.
We have an Army of Illegal Mexicans coming across our border every day sucking the life out of this country and we don't do a damn thing about it.
Every person that has lost a job to outsourcing or to illegal immigration should be camped out on Pennsylvania Ave. With a sign of protest or Standing on the Border with a gun in their hand defending this Country but where are they?
Doing exactly what I am doing. Sitting at the computer whining or in their easy chair watching Lou Dobbs tell them how much our Country is screwed up.

The American people are fat, lazy, and comfortable. They are going through what they think is a little bump in the road and the attitude is....It won't last, it can't, the Government will fix it....
Well I got news for you all. It is gonna get a lot worse before it gets better.

I just hope I can get my house sold before it does.

Brian if you want to organize a march on Washington Just name the day...I'll be there....
You want to organize a Protest on the Mexican Border just name the day I'll be there...I'll even bring a shotgun....
You want to circulate a petition to limit Senate and Congressional terms send it I'll sign it.
You want to start a program in this country that says YOU DON"T WORK YOU DON"T EAT I'll vote for it.

I am willing to get off my ass, out of my easy chair, and stand right there beside you in front of the White House.....But you know what...we will probably be there alone.

Well
Sam Might be there. If we give him a ride, LOL

PS
Back in the sixties people were not so soft and comfortable. Life wasn't quite as easy. They actually did do something...Places like Kent State come to mind. the Convention in Chicago too. I was there I saw it.


OOPs I forgot protesting Gas prices.
And you want Americans to pay $10.00 for a gallon of gas?
Dream a little dream for me.

Did I mention I'm a little cynical

Since no one has responded to this yet I want to add this
When I was a Kid In Chicago the buses were Electric. There were lines that ran overhead on the street and a pole came up from the back of the bus and ran along the line. We kids would sneak up behind the bus when it stopped and pull the pole loose rendering the bus without power. Then when the bus driver would come out to reconnect it we'd pelt him with snowballs. HA...Great fun.

The Elevated train system in Chicago is still Electric.
The third rail is a killer. I picked up more than a few vagrants that got Killed on it.
