I note that a fair number of you are outraged that we're not in the streets
like the Egyptians. Could someone please explain to me what the goal would be?

3. I can only speak for my neighborhood,we all took to the streets
to shovel snow. Then we all went back inside to get warm. Goal accomplished.

4. We should have been in the streets when the
Bush v. Gore SCOTUS decision was announced.
We should be making a lot more noise about Citizens United.
We should be demanding that we get out of Afghanistan.
To name just a few.
You didn't do it when President Bush was in office, you sure as hell won't do it now.

10. That was NOT cool. n/t
It was funny though, and deserving of an answer.

17. If we are going to take to the streets then we need to
"remove" bankers, insurance execs, CEO's and general rich crooks from the genetic pool.
But I'm in a cranky mood today. ... on second thought I like the thriller idea.
Another DUmmie advocating bloodshed and violence.

7. Bah humbug. I protested at my state capitol in Dec 2000.
I WAS ALONE IN DOING SO. I left after the state police told me to go home or they would have to arrest me, and they really, really didn't want to have to do that - because they agreed with me. But they had been ordered to make me leave. I joined over 2000 others in protesting before the invasion of Iraq, and enjoyed the peacefulness of it. Now, I've got double pneumonia - I'm not leaving my house. It's very, very cold outside. Maybe spring?
This DUmmie converted cops in his bouncy.
Too bad he only wants to protest when it is convenient and warm.

12. IT'S COMING
When the full impact of the bailouts hits home and the gap in income does not sustain the economy people will be in the streets. The current system is unsustainable, the economy will not work with it. prices will be going up, spending going down, services lost, more foreclosures etc.
Why? The news is saying the bailouts have been paid back and then some.

13. Ummmmm?
Do we want to force Obama and Diden to resign so that Boenher can be president?
That would work real well!
Why yes, that would work until the next election.
