4. No

I thought of it a few days ago. Read Thom Hartmann's latest article about why this is happening in the Ukraine, though, apparently it's orchestrated by the political system - in the US! It's not actually a grassroots effort, just made to look that way.

5. They've lived under Soviet Rule

They won't get fooled again. Give us a few more years of this bullshit and we might be in the same boat. Then again ....

6. I think millions of people are pissed off

and want to march or DO SOMETHING, but there's really no leadership.

8. The Apprentice is on

Why should I care about my country's future :D. Kidding.

10. Democracy will end with a whimper and not a bang.

We are living in historic times. It will be an entirely different world for our grandchildren.

11. Waiting...

I'm not expecting the overall results of the election to be overturned (although that would be a most excellent Yule gift), but I'm still hopeful that those responsible for the fraud that transpired here will be brought to justice.

Why should anyone in America have to wait in line for even an hour to vote? (Much less 6-10 hours!)

12. A) No leadership taking the vanguard.................

and calling for the disenfranchised to take to the streets. Don't get me wrong, I will give kudos to folks like Bev Harris for all the work they have done, but her work is way too behind the scenes. Charismatic leadership is desperately needed.

B) Most folks out here work either directly/indirectly work for the oppressors. I think people are afraid of losing their jobs, and subsequently their way of life if they protest. They know who butters their bread.

13. yep, how's this for un-pc?

AMERICANS. ARE. PUSSIES.

17. Thank you Bandar Bush.... love the new name!

[solinvictus]

16. Television, SUV's, NASCAR, etc.

Because as long as Americans can watch television, sports, and such, it doesn't matter. We're complacent and servile as a group.
