Buzzflash: "The Green Revolution is Electrifying in Its Courage on the Streets
This editor's blog is pretty electrifying, too!


The Green Revolution is Electrifying in Its Courage on the Streets: America Needed Such Public Demonstrations in 2000 -- A BuzzFlash Editor's Blog

If the American public who was outraged by the theft of the election from Al Gore in 2000 were as courageous and defiant then as the Green Revolution in Iran is now, we may not have had to endure 8 years of destruction to America and the world under Bush and Cheney.

1. I spent much time at Buzzflash in 2000 ....
They were leaders in bringing REAL news to Democrats and Liberals ...

3. Absolutely!
But like so many other worthy causes, BuzzFlash is suffering lately from lack of donations. I try to buy stuff there a couple times a month.

5. I spent a couple years reading them.
It was excruciating to read back then because I was so horrified with what I was seeing. I called it my morning cup of outrage. I just watched a clip of people marching in DC over the vote fraud in Iraq and was sadly wishing more of us had marched back in 2000-2003. :(

4. Exactly what I've been thinking all day
Americans have proved to be gutless wonders. Too much Reality TV, and not enough reality. :mad:

6. At first, I thought this would be another Tianamin Square
but this appears to be lasting much longer. Determination, not the Ayotollah reigns supreme.

7. And many Americans and people elsewhere.

Have paid terribly for the lack of courage, the apathy, and the choices made in the USA in 2000.
