| mrstickball said: vagabond - I think the question comes down to how best effect change in the government. Many people feel that no matter what is done by civil means, the politicians and their cronies simply destroy promises for the sake of 'their' good. America is kind of in a catch-22. There are too many lazy, uncaring people electing lazy, uncaring politicians because they like to promise a lot, and deliver very little, as the people feel no responsibility for themselves. After all, when Bush wanted to go after Social Security reform, we had a situation to where there was much public outrage - people simply didn't want him hurting their retirement, despite the fact that SS is obviously bankrupt. Better yet, look at California. Great example of people unwilling to make hard choices, and are getting destroyed for it....Yet still are wanting to take the easy way out. |
I definitely agree with that. But I also think that "HULK SMASH" is not a valid form of changing our government but more and more people with guns are getting themselves riled up watching Glenn beck (and friends) cry on TV telling them that the enemy of liberty is progressive liberal god hating atheists that put their faith in Big Government that just wants to steal your guns and your land and kill jesus, and that drastic action may be needed. That is not productive. And when I see intelligent people like Mafoo saying that revolt is necessary, it makes me wonder what kind of revolution he has in mind. I really hope it's an angry letter writing campaign.
