Like minds together to witness another failed attempt to have government act in a reasonable way. It is good to be disrespected I guess. Maybe some day, because we're been completely ignored now, we'll attempt a new strategy.

Until then, Heil Oligarchy!

3. Well, I agree about the politeness.........
There's only one thing a thug respects and it ain't politeness.

2. What new strategy would you suggest?
Clearly, NOW, they will go for recalls and try to reverse the damage in courts or threw a repeal of legislation under a Democratic majority. But, in hindsight, what alternate strategy would you have gone with?

4. Did you notice the news after the event in Japan.
First there is a guy on MSNBC interviewed on the phone, he is asked about some safety issue, and he references his Commander, when talking about knowing about evacuation. And during a disaster interview, he says the Charley Sheen 'Winning' comment, and lacking empathy for those in Japan. I thought that was odd.

Then some guy in Hawaii is interviewed, and he is US Military, says he has a house on the water front. But when asked what he does for military, he evades the question and Chuckles, he probably does PR. Interesting that people in military can afford beach front property in Hawaii, and give phone in interviews on news about waves, but don't say what they do for military.

But the most interesting of things, was after an interview of some person on the Wisconsin issue, someone in the background said, "that's not his name"


:shrug:


And I am due beer and travel money and many experiences.

6. Sometimes the action by government is not immediate
We did leave Vietnam and Republicans still hate the hippies, even after almost fifty years..The protests in the sixties had a huge impact upon America..Republicans don't EVER want to go through that again..
