So what are we going to do about it?
      

Most of us know we are being screwed every hour of every day. We’re being victimized by those who own most of our politicians, most of the media, and virtually everything else worth owning. And, yes, they own us too. So what are we going to do about it?

We aren’t organized. And that tends to preclude any meaningful action we can take to defend ourselves against the predators that prey on us. So what are we going to do about it?

Far too many have bought into the non-stop propaganda that’s fed to us all. And they’ll never comprehend how or why they’re being screwed, or who’s screwing them. So what are we going to do about it?

Are we going to wait for an election where some “great savior” rides in on a white horse to rescue us from those who are destroying us? That’s not likely to happen. So what are we going to do about it?

It’s easy for some to call us sheep, but that’s a baseless accusation. And the reason it’s false is because we don’t have the means, the power, the resources, or the cohesiveness to do battle with our oppressors. And if we do have any of these things, it's evidently not apparent to most of us.

So the question is not “What are we going to do about it?” The real question is “What can we do about it?”

Suggestions/solutions?

9. They really don't need us that much anymore.
   China and India have the largest populations in the world. And our multi-national corporations have moved on to these new markets.

I guess what I'm saying is that we are no longer needed, or necessary, to the corporate bottom line. Then again, they don't yet have their hands on the final rubles to be wrung from Social Security and Medicare. But it won't be long before they get that too.

Here is your solution...

12. First you are talking about the people, and when questioned, you then turn it to the corporations.
   So, which one is it you are talking about?

bobbo needs an opening...will Cyrano serve it up to her with an answer?

18. The first sentence of my OP was about corporations.

YES!

21. You know, I agree with Al Franken... I really get tired of weasel words.
   You pretend to ask a serious question, then play games. Is that your way of ensuring that the predators win? Wasting our time and energy with a silly game?

This is actually serious business, and if you would rather play games, please pick up your Game Boy and go at it.

"We aren’t organized. And that tends to preclude any meaningful action we can take to defend ourselves against the predators that prey on us. So what are we going to do about it?"

You see, that actually sounds like a serious question.

It deserves some serious discussion, so either get serious or be honest that you are playing games, and leave it.

Which of course has nothing to do with anything posted so far.

25. That's hilarious!!!
   YOU:

1. Raise important questions.

2. Derail any attempt at serious discussion.

3. Plea for discussion, claiming you are being attacked.

From bobbo no less.

20. Nice evasion, but FAIL.
   So, since you want to play word games after making a serious accusation, What have YOU done to educate people, and HOW were YOU blocked?

I think bobbo is a bit envious and tired of Cyrano getting attention by being the biggest crybaby at the DUmp.

Oh my.

Actually, I think the bobbling primitive won that round.

[Ballygrl]

It would be epic if Bobbo really is a mole.

And, yes, they own us too.

[GOBUCKS]

There's little doubt in my mind that DUmmy Hobo is a world class mole, perhaps one of the best that ever has been. It'd still be great if the worthless drunkard DUmmy Pitt got all liquored up and carried out his incoherent threats against her, but it'll never happen. Aside from being thoroughly imbued with cowardice, DUmmy Raven's greatest disappointment is also a hopeless, indolent alcoholic.

I like it.
Two of my favorite primitives going at it. I need popcorn and beer for this one.

Cyrano? Okay, that settles it, Carl, I'm going to have to post it now.

The helpless asking advice from the hopeless.  This is bound to end well.

[Revolution]

This is awesome. 2 of my top choices in the elections going at it. I love it! By the way, voting is still open, Cavers.   

And the reason it’s false is because we don’t have the means, the power, the resources, or the cohesiveness brains, balls, or motivation to do battle with our oppressors.

Fixed.
