Could Madison WI be our Tahrir Square?

[Brigid]

Fed-up people protesting the powers that are oppressing them, with young people heavily involved. Sound familiar? Could it be that the American people are finally waking up to the fact that the right has been feeding them a line of bullshit for the past 30 years or more?

1. I hope so.

2. The sad thing, is for many in that group, nobody ever explained it to them either.

a very few people, that know some things, have been sleeping a great many people.

Just need to wake them up, and try and think and feel what is best, and better results will occur.

3. maybe, if we scheduled solidarity protests in other cities

but as long as it is isolated to WI I will assume that most of the country will ignore it.

4. "Now the earnings from each man's work will belong to him first.."

This is a statement I heard from a protester in Tahrir Square.

When will Americans wise up, too?

5. You're making me want to take a drive from Chicago tonight to stand with them.

We could have been great to this day. A benevolent hegemon. Shining city on the hill, and not a gated community. :patriot:
