A dictator wins an Election through. fraudulent means and these people are willing to take to the streets and sacrifice everything including their lives to change it,,,,,Americans on the other hand get on Blogs and bitch and cry and moan but never really commit or stand for anything..I am as guilty as anyone,, Makes me ashamed I dont have as much "guts" as these people do..

1. 2004, we had one hundred people on the State House steps in Ohio.
An entire National election is stolen and that is all we could muster. I looked around and wondered where the hell the rest of the country was. Well, there was Christmas shopping to do so peeps were busy. It was a sad and sickening feeling standing there ...looking out.

2. Things will have to get really bad in this country before people
take to the streets.

You of course know that during the great Depression people made
it D.C. Our Government fired guns on them.

Then we have permitted the GOP to disdain the 60s in such a way
that it will take much suffering at Middle Class Level before
moving to the streets.

There will be social unrest in this country as we continue
to favor Elites over the Middle Class.
