Ah there is a great awakening across the land

[nadinbrzezinski]

over the course of the cold war they got a very complaint, but very well paid WORKING CLASS. After all, they will be loyal if they can live the American Dream.

But now I feel a rising sense of CLASS. Exactly what they do not like. There is a sense of a rising radicalism across the land, as people FINALLY realize yes, this is A CLASS War, and it is time we join it.

Now here is something they do not understand. As that comes to become the norm, the workers will FIGHT to keep what they have. See, that is not what they were expecting. Nor were they expecting this to be peaceful. Unlike the Enclosure acts that took 400 years, 30 years still has people with an actual memory.

People the fight has been joined, and now we see more people realizing WE ARE WORKERS.

Now back to my editing of that history of labor... draft zeros are usually at times... clear as mud. Oh wait, Mud is far clearer in some sections... but doing that tells me that indeed, the people are FINALLY AND FULLY WAKING UP. To conservatives this is not a good time.

1. The next phase will be to find or manufacture others thugging on video.

Then, they will pit soldier against cop. They fully expect that oft mentioned race war, and cutting loose the poor. That is why they bought the guns, and in particular, the ammo.

2. They have been trying

Yes I go to those sites from time to time. Michelle HAD video of real ugly THUGS I tell you.

:sarcasm:

4. In the end, the overwhelming desire for Better will trump those thugs

Torches and pitchforks are on the rising tide...this planet has only begun to see the Mode of Obamas Positiveness

14. NOW they are awake, and they'll be showing displeasure on electronic voting machines

3. Capitalism is dead...threre's no reason to keeping fighting for it.

More and more Americans are beginning to realize that society does not benefit from capitalism...it requires much more than a few individuals hoarding obscene amounts of wealth for the benefit of investors.

Socialism is government for the people
Capitalism is government for the investors

That's why corporations want to demonize and put an end to "big" government. It's "big" government that stands in their way...

[nadinbrzezinski]

6. I would qualify that... as in what we have is not precisely Capitalism

We may want to call it that, but it is not. Fair wages as in LIVING wages, were written into the Wealth of Nations, for example.

What we have is consumerism, with a bit of mercantilism and yes. let's call it by it's right name... FASCISM.

We really need to start calling things by their proper names, even if some people will scream... no it is not, where are the jackboots!

[Drale]

9. I've been saying that for a while

I don't know what to call it but its not capitalism anymore. I would also like to add that no one pure system works, what we need is a hybrid. For instance industries such as Oil, Health Care and the Banks among a few others should be nationalized but things like factories should not be although they should be regulated so that the workers and treated and payed fairly.

[nadinbrzezinski]

10. You mean a MIXED economy like the 1950s?

Yep, that worked very well for EVERYBODY but created a middle class, that had the time and money to think. To conservatives that led to social disorder... see civil rights and social justice. We cannot have that.

The war against the middle class has a reason, and that is also about social control and people knowing their place.

5. Yes, as we help people understand class and that there is only shame in

being an upper, upper class never worked a day in their lives. We can join together and there are more of us than them.

I was taught throughout nursing school that I was entering a white collar profession as a Registered Nurse. Well, um, no, it's blue collar all the way and I don't feel a bit of shame about that and I think that was actual a subtle attempt to divide and conquer.

If we finally get it, really get it that this is a class war, it will become a winnable war for those of us in the working class. It's a given.

[nadinbrzezinski]

7. That is because of the definitions used in the US

a white collar profession, like Nursing, under old classifications IS a white collar profession, since it requires a college degree. That is one of the widgets.

In modern days... we need a large revision on that. College degree, or for that matter income only are no longer sufficient. They were... back in the 1920s when they were still functional.

12. It's a Pink Collar job.

Like secretaries and also teaching. It may require a degree and be called a profession but it doesn't pay like one and does not garner the respect of white collar jobs.

[tavalon]

13. I'd never heard that term!

LOL. Considering they're predominantly female jobs, it's quite stereotypical but apt.

8. K&R it's like a candle in the dark...

and each day we add another candle. Pretty soon the vampires will have to go hide in their coffins.


Oh and spelling? Like today is different from any other day.... :P

11. Actually my dyslexia is worst than usual

I have no clue why.
