The riots follow * everywhere

[Iwasthere]

Except on our own soil... they have that pretty well under control in the U.S., With their fear tactics and arrests. They can't use those tactics in most other countries, YET!!!

IMPEACH THE MAD MAN (men) NOW! Before they start global annihilation!

1. those countries have gone through too much strife.

they will not put up with the sh$t we have gone through. Our forefathers are probably rolling in their graves, for their hardwork being undone.

2. America's probably gonna have to hit rock bottom first.

America's really gone down the tubes lately. Nothing but consumerism, corporatism, and nobody's making a fuss. We have a few war protests here and there, but by all rights, people should be rioting by the thousands everywhere.

Yesterday, as I was driving around my old hometown, I was disgusted at seeing all the sprawl - strip malls, big box stores and McMansions. A movie theater - a big twelve-plex that had only been open for a few years, had been boarded up, shut down by the even newer 16-plex down the road.

I've come to the conclusion that America's still too comfortable. Still complacent because most people still have OK jobs, still have a roof over their heads, and are still able to buy food & pay the bills and pay for gas for that car. It sometimes makes me wish we'd attack Iran, just so Iran can shut down the Persian Gulf, drive gas prices up to $8.00 per gallon, and start the second Great Depression. Maybe when everybody can't afford the gas for that 80 mile commute, realizes that because of the sprawl, they can't walk anywhere useful, lose their livelyhoods, cars and homes, people will start to wake the fuck up and realize that it's all happening because the psychopaths they put in power are stealing from their pockets. Then I'd realize just how many people will become displaced, suffer and die...

I hate seeing people suffer, but America sorely needs a swift, sharp kick in the ass.

3. I am afraid you are right, Our bellies are too full, and that is not

only with food, it will have to affect each and every one of us, till something is done. But these thugs keep on taking away from us, soon they will taking more, cause no one has stood up to them yet.

maybe that will be the sharp kick in the ass we need.
