Is It Time for a General Strike Yet?
Reasons:

1. Increasing amounts of jobs shipped overseas.
2. Increasing amounts of jobs lost and de-skilling of workers, to automation.
3. Increasing amounts of jobs lost to corporate consolidation.
4. Out of control health care costs.

Corporate stockholders are fleas on workers' backs.

I'd like to suggest massive nude protests on Wall Street. Display the Emporers' clothes.

2. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Let me make the decision as to what is pretty and what isn't.

4. it's certainly time to start planning ;-) it's the ENRONOMY!
it is way past time for the people to bring back civil disobediance.

i think most reasonable people realize now that these crimminals in the WH can NOT be reasoned with and if not for the sake of ourselves thank for the sake of our children...

what kind of future awaits them if we don't start DEMANDING change with civil disobediance in a PEACEFUL MANNER.

it is time

peace

peace
