I've never felt so insecure about the futre of demacracy. In the 60's similar clandestine efforts were at work to limit American freedon but, we were talking, screaming and standing for our rights.

It is time to create The Institiute of Civil Disobedience or similar entity to have a place to learn our rights and how to keep them. ACLU and related groups please start a project or something. We need lots of help!

1. That is the difference between the 60's and today
We were not afraid to fight for our rights. Marches through the streets and on Washington.
Where is that spirit today?

2. that ended with Kent state, notice the CIA only killed innocent bystanders, that was psychological
conditioning.. mind control to imprint the thought that protesting was deadly.. you could get killed even being near protesters. the media reinforced hammering it in afterwords.

4. These are scary times. But the revulsion against the Republicans is strong and widespread.

7. Anyone really doubts that at some point the use of force will be required
to end the abuse by the previleged? It has been like that since the dawn of times.
