All this ReTHUG madness will end when there is an outbreak of some

[malaise]

disease and once millions no longer receive their food stamps in winter there will be an outbreak of some disease.

1. I will tell you, malaise, the time will come when the victims of these policies will knock....

...on the gates of the communities where the rich and powerful reside.

And the rich and powerful will feel great discomfort.

That time, for me, cannot come soon enough.

2. Yep and as long as the gap between rich and poor continues to widen

that date will come sooner not later.
Funny how these people never read the 'fairy tales' from the past.

4. This. A billion times.

6. The only problem with that scenario

is that the likely response will similar to the Pinkerton/Henry Ford thing about a century ago when the strikers were brutalized by the private police who shot and beat many of them. Now they have tanks and military grade weapons of mass destruction.
Modern day example would be the way the "civilian" police dealt with the OWS folks.


Other than that, I'd like to see them over-run by everybody else and forced into equalization.

7. One day, the police will count themselves among the oppressed.

And that will make the difference.

In the meantime, at the risk of being called names, we may want to look over our Bill of Rights and resist the urges to surrender them.

5. Only when such disease and catastrophe affects the rich.

Until then, it will be a "their problem, not mine" sort of thing.
