89. LOL the upcoming fight on the internets?
Give me a break. Tell me, where is the "upcoming fight" going to be? Going to go grab slack jawed sheeple away from their 42" plasmas and American Idol and get them out on the streets? The powers that be have this country right were they want it. A small upper class. A gargantuan lower middle class with just enough money to buy their beer and live their lives out in their barcoliners while living paycheck to paycheck. And the people below them are too disenfranchised and dispirited to do anything other then survive.

Or signing letters by Bernie Sanders (god bless him) and thinking that is going to make a difference? Please.

And if they do take to the streets what then? They would be crushed like bugs and happily villified by Fox News and the rest of the corporate scum media.

Because some of us choose and are able to leave hardly means we need to be called "poor little lambs" and that we have "no spines". In my case it means I want better weather, a calmer standard of living, to become fluent in another language, an adventure in a new culture. How that makes me into a turncoat is beyond me and if it does so be it.
