What would it take to organize a 10 million person march on D.C. in a anti-war demonstration? Also with that many people would it be possible to invade D.C. and break down the gates at the whitehouse and just carry Bushy out of office?

That would really be an incredible feat...not impossible. That's how we made America.

Also it wouldn't be long before the tear gas starts getting fired into the crowd. And if there's guns...they'll just bring out bigger guns.

Gas Masks are not really all that expensive. It would take a lot of troops to quell a group that large, though our nice little government would probably consider it an act of terrorism if that many people marched.

One possibility I wish would happen is that everyone just doesn't go to work for an intire week, not feasable really, but would be cool.

How many people does it take to skip work to cause an economic collapse? How many days and people?

Try not to suggest doing anything by the way, or this thread will get deleted.

[cynicalheretic]

Why would it get deleted, I am not suggesting anyone do anything illegal.. Isn't this kind of a social activism site anyway?

BTW... It depends on the sector, like lets say everyone working at a power plant went on strike... or something to that effect then it would be far more damaging to our economy.

Oh there was some dude that came here like a month ago and said there was going to be a huge rally in front of the white house or something with weapons. That was deleted.

I'm not sure about the details of the power grid to be honest. I remember in 2003 something happened at Niagra Falls and major cities in the northeast were out of power for a long time (maybe 36-48 hours).

It wouldn't take too much to bring the US to its need, so that it can finally listen to its citizens.

I think they deleted that post, because the person was talking about what was deemed illegal activity and Peakoil.com was just protecting itself from getting shut down.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Dreamtwister', 'N')ot really. World of Warcraft just leads to delusions of entitlement. What you really want to get them playing is something like Counterstrike, or that one made by the Army.

[cynicalheretic]

I have played Counter Strike, but I end up killing myself and the members of elite strike force. I guess you guys won't let me lead the insurgency now will ya

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('TommyJefferson', 'O')h. I thought it was a game where people banded together and practiced the Craft of engaging in War, thus the name.
