Many people have been seeing america as overpowering for a long time. I think the
republicans will put an honest face on it.  It will help America wake up when is
sees itself in the mirror.Just wait and see. The seeds of discontent were sown
with the mai protests. http://www.greenecon.org/MAI/index.html  You could see it
coming here a couple of years ago http://www.web.net/~bcmainot/. I fucking hated
the PM then and i still do. he's a sellout and and an asshole. You could see the
signs years ago with the closing of factories and the forclosere of farms. Nobody
is looking out for his felow man, we're all spoied now. We all want success.
Ther's going to be a lot of protest and maybe more rioting.  In  a way were doomed
to be fascist assholes ourselves. Guilty by our apathetic complicity.   We're
killing the common person.   We killed the students in indonesia.   We put the
children in the factories.   We all want to be comfortable.   It is costing the
world its freedom and happiness.   Its always been that way.  If you have a heart
you have to say/do something about it.

I think anything that points out the din of materialism that weve wraped ourselves
in is a step in the right direction
