Oh boy, 3 commie cacklefruits over easy, with 2 pieces of the people's toast, and some homegrowed Missouri swampturkey sausage. Sure hope I have some Cuban coffee left to brew.

I think when Americans get over uncertainty and their imagination and good nature returns to their cheeks we will do the best we can under the circumstances. That is not a hope, or a prayer, that's a fact. I'll even share my possum and grits with a rich sucker.

Its too bad we can't gather up all the convicts, ghetto people and drug addicts and point them in the direction of Wall Street, K-Street, and the rich's gated communities and get them to annihilate each other.

We are in the collapse from financial overshoot with our system that simply kept raising the required future growth ratio to feed it's desires instead of real needs. We need to drop our needs to correspond to reality and that means we are in withdrawal from growth addiction.

There is nobody to fight about this to correct this situation except ourselves. All of this enemy identification BS is about people and groups who want your anger to turn into their power and money and is a complete waste of time.

So rather than waste a bunch of time on straw men and oppressors, let's cut to the chase and everyone stand up and see if you are flexible enough to curl rearward with your right leg if you are conservative and your left leg if you are liberal, and kick your own sorry ass. Don't hold back or make a half hearted attempt, really deliver a good ass kicking so you have gotten some punishment and are ready to move on and heal and can take stock and do something constructive. We have made a consumption machine in America that cannot be run by the available resources and it has to be dismantled by default or with a conscious plan. Don't hold your breath for a conscious plan.

This will help us separate our reality from the notion that living more simply and with less is the end of the world and that someone else did this to us.

Remember to kick on the cheeks and stay out of the middle.

I dunno, efarmer. I kind of think folks should maybe try to get back some of the stuff the top percent or so have taken, or at the very least, refuse to let them have any more.

These are the seeds of a radical movement within the US culture. We wish to find "someone" to blame; be it the "welfare Mom" or the "rich industrialist." This is how the Nazis started in Germany. Blame the Jew. Sadly, we in the US are no different.

Let us all hope I am wrong, very wrong.

Another laughable PO.com thread. If you really want to explore the possibilities of revolution, shouldn't you look back at history for examples of the conditions that lead to it? America in 1776, France in 1788, Russia 1917? How does America in 2010 come close to any of those? Let's face it - Americans are STILL too fat & happy to get violent in the street in #s that matter. also remember that the government have the really big guns.

Not until you have a substantial deterioration of governmental rule both politically and militarily would the wackiest of civil disobedient types have a chance at a violent revolution.
