...Protesting the governments' "handling" of the economic crisis.

A few thoughts...

1. I was at a protest today in Citrus Heights, CA. Police were chasing down drivers who were honking in support.
These people are already being robbed. Now they have to pay a fine. I hope they were pissed!
A bully will continue as long as he can. You decide the state of your life. You can't rely on Government.

2. A protest is a good start. But for the gov to change, millions of citizens need to actually cause a big disturbance. How about getting their attention where it hurts - $$$. What if millions did what they believe is right and not pay their taxes....and filled up the courts in lawsuits....then the protests start for the non payers being jailed...and so on. It won't be any better in our slave future anyway.

3. Alot of people like the Regan saying "Government is the problem". Repubs are using it now that a dem is pres, But Government was the problem 1 year ago, 3 years ago, 10, 20 , 30 years ago. We NEED to stop blaming half the gov. No matter what party, taxes stay about the same. I think they perpetuate partisan thinking to keep people divided. They're now conquering.
