Dontcha think it's time to act?

is THIS what we want...?



cuz, like it or not, it's what we've GOT...

in an earlier post i said, "the pot is starting to boil and, when it does, look out..." a commenter responded with this...

Look out for friggin' WHAT, exactly?? We're all in our seperate little holes looking at our screens and bitching and moaning. Back in the 60's before people had individual and seperate access to information, they had to COME TOGETHER. It looked a lot more impressive than a zillion comments on a blog.

HERE'S what the pot starting to boil looks like...

from opol on daily kos...

• We snoozed when we should have been marching. We voted when we should have been screaming. We dropped the ball, we swallowed too much bullshit, we allowed people to tell us to be patient and accept that all we’d ever be offered is the choice between two evils – the greater and the lesser. And all the while our world has predictably grown more and more evil.
• We’ve listened raptly to insincere politicians who only sought to manipulate us in the course of playing their little power games. We’ve selflessly volunteered our money, our time, and our talents only to be promptly betrayed once the critter gets into office. They just lie their asses off to us while doing the bidding of their corporate masters. They scarcely even try to hide it anymore.
• We’ve all seen America’s considerable promise sucked out of her by the greedheads and criminals who have infiltrated our government and subverted the people’s will. This nation is at a moment of crisis unlike any it has ever seen. This is the moment when we will either save our country or watch it go down the drain.
• It’s time to organize in opposition to the government. It’s time for non-violent revolution. It’s time to take it to the streets – like we did back in the day.
• There’s no point in discussing abandoning the Democratic Party – they’ve abandoned us. They’ve done nothing but screw us at every turn ever since we helped put them in power back in November.
• Let’s get it going. Let’s get organized. It’s time to rise up and take our country back.

from jim burke, a contributor to this blog...

I think we need to start some targeted civil disobedience aimed at the wallets of the fat cats. I have proposed in the past that on a local level, we can all have a tremendous economic impact with very minimal effort.

Only a couple of dozen dedicated Americans can shut down an Intermodal Shipping Terminal by just gathering at the entrances.

These terminals transfer freight from around the world via truck, train, and ships.
They exist everywhere now. Some just do two forms, say truck and train at inland locations. I live in the N.E. My problem is which one to chose, there are so many.

What is the point, I hear you ask.

The point is this. By spending just a few hours on a Saturday afternoon preventing trucks from moving freely in and out of the terminal, it will cost the shippers and their customers several hundred thousand dollars per terminal!

If you do this all over the country, the business community will go nuts and start to complain to the Gov't they own.

When they ask why we are doing this, simply say that we want the war to end. Unconditional surrender of the Administration and Congress to our demands. Otherwise, the next Saturday, bring a chair and a bottle of water and pretend your a hunk of granite in the road.

Don't be suprised if some of us eventually wind up getting arrested.

A small price to pay, to save our tax money.

A very small price to pay to save our Nation.

A very, very small price to pay, to save the life of a Soldier.

THIS is what the pot starting to boil looks like...

if not us, who...? if not now, when...?
