If Americans give me a reason to believe in them, I’ll give Wall Street and “government as usual” a reason to fear us all.
I’m not a dumb fuck.
I can do this without breaking the law.
Oh, Lord Jesus, I so hope this isn’t a tempest in a teapot.

NYC is a little far for me… but I’ve been active in the local 15M movement:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_Spanish_protests“…The series of protests demands a radical change in Spanish politics, as protesters do not consider themselves to be represented by any traditional party nor favoured by the measures approved by politicians.[6] Spanish media have related the protests to the economic crisis, Stéphane Hessel’s Time for Outrage!,[6] the NEET troubled generation and current protests in the Middle East and North Africa,[7] Greece,[8] Portugal[9] as well as the Icelandic protest and riots in 2009.[10] The protests were staged close to the local and regional elections, held on 22 May.
Even though protesters form a heterogeneous and ambiguous group, they share a strong rejection of unemployement, welfare cuts, Spanish politicians, the current two-party system in Spain between the Spanish Socialist Workers’ Party and the People’s Party, as well as the current political system, capitalism, banks and bankers,[11] political corruption and firmly support what they call basic rights: home, work, culture, health and education.[12]
What has emerged from the movement’s rejection of representative democracy (denounced in DRY’s manifesto as having klepto-plutarchratic tendencies[13]) appears to be a form of grassroots participatory democracy based on people’s assemblies and consensus decision making. These horizontally structured assemblies are said to be completely transparent and open to anyone who wants to participate.[14] According to statistics published by RTVE, the Spanish public broadcasting company, between 6.5 and 8 million Spaniards have participated in these protests

I didn’t know if I should have made this post, or not. It’s pretty inflammatory.
But I’ve had it with morons taking the side of the 1% of Americans who want to have everything.
We’re in a war, and we’re losing. Badly.

I think the apathy in America has a direct association with Fluoride levels in the tap water. Just don’t drink it.
No other aspect of society would allow the systemic drugging of the US population as Fluoride in the tap water. And there is no way to assess the dosages taken.

Compare the US of the 1960′s and the US of today.
Million marches vs. a few thousands… Movements for improvement vs. last-ditch tactics to slow down the decay…
It seems that just about everywhere else in the world there’s a democratic movement of some sort, while in the US we have what we have.
And what sort of political discourse do we have over there? Something between what would be considered extreme rw almost anywhere else (Obama-style triangulation) and the batshit insane. Considering taxing the ubber-wealthy at the same level as the middle class is considered “class war”. Sheesh.
Send in the clowns, since we already have the clones.
