What's it gonna be America, now that the Felonious Five have destroyed any illusion of democracy?

[marmar]

......a general strike shutdown of the country, like mes freres francaises:





Or perhaps an Argentine-style protest:





Or something like angry lefty students in Germany:





Or perhaps even some of those famous acts of civil disobedience in our own backyard:





Or will we scream, yell, cry ....... and take it like we always do, so we can get back to:

1. America will probably look like this:

[krabigirl]

4. Yep! And our overlords know it...

[azmouse]

7. I've been reading a book about the Great Depression

and the thing that surprised Roosevelt the most after taking office was the apathy of the American public in the face of overwhelming economic disaster.

We're seeing the same thing happen now. SSDD.

[Initech]

8. No it will be more like this:

"Go back to bed america - your government is in control. There should be no questioning your government's legitimacy. Here, watch American Idol and get fat and stupid. Oh and keep eating Taco Bell you fucking morons!!!"

[azmouse]

9. Don't forget the extensive coverage of Tiger Wood's sex life.

We have to keep our priorties straight, don'tcha know!

2. Students are always angry. Student activism is bullshit

They are only "radical" agents of change during their four year stint on Daddy's dime. Then they graduate and immediately join the system that they had so vehemently opposed in college. Change can only come from the working man.

3. Sadly, the latter

is what most Americans will do. Mustn't distract from their bread and circuses. :eyes:

[krabigirl]

5. I'll protest. I don't care if I look like a nut anymore.

[DainBramaged]

6. Democrats will take the high road, they don't want to offend anyone.....

:hurts:

10. I cannot get one single person I've talked to today to care.

They're mostly like, "Something new to be mad at the government for? Why start now?" They don't see that this is a landmark decision. Many so-called liberal friends are even defending the decision.

I really think there's something about what makes us liberal, that also prevents us from taking up for ourselves. Maybe we're hamstrung by the ability to see things from other peoples' points of view.

11. Sorry. Super Bowl is coming up & American Idol just started

[Echo In Light]

12. _

[Lifelong Protester]

13. Name the date. I'm there.

Still thanking my lucky stars I have a job, but I have some leave time. Just name the date.

Folks, we have to get OFF OUR COLLECTIVE BACKSIDES! NOW!
