In order to fight the government we need to protest! I know protest happens every once and a while and I'm very happy they do take place! I just wish they would take place, with more people and for more reasons.
Do you really think gas prices are going down w/o a fight? Will Social Security be there? (it better be, do you know that 7.5% of your wages go towards that and then your employer must pay another7.5%, and it may not be there for you or me!) We sit here quietly when it is thrown in our faces that these big wig oil executives are making record profits, and breaking them everyday of the week. We sit here and pay the money. YOU HAVE A VOICE,USE IT! WE NEED TO COME TOGETHER AND FIGHT FOR OUR RIGHTS AND STOP LETTING THE GOV'T RUN ALL OVER US. We are overpowered by companies with money, they just do something to make us forget or shut us up, I'm done being pushed around by these people. If we all pass the word we will make a difference.

Im thinking there is too much of an "every man for himself" mentality for organized protest to be effective these days and sadly it will probably be the world's downfall.

I'm sorry I forgot I started this... U are absolutely right. I think with the economy headed in the direction it is people may come together to fight, but when everything is going good people are all about themselves. Me included, sad to say but I take so much for granted, I try to realize how lucky I am but it slips my mind, especially when Im pissed about stupid shit. I try to put myself in someones shoes who isn't as lucky as I am...

what happened to a simple protest? It's called the Patriot act, and H.R. 1955.
