Reply #48: I really don't know what it will take [View All]

We have been sitting here in america for many years watching all the horrors on a tv set safe at home . When the towers were blown to bits we ran and hid and panicked and most of the people bought into bombing the hell out of Afghanistan and then Iraq . We had some protests , the immigrants had some too and what happened , nothing .

It appears it will take massive bombing on our soil and even then people won't know what to do other than cry out for help even from our criminal government .

Perhaps it will take as I said before for most all americans to end up broke and jobless without one thing left to loose and this will include a true sense of that sick to your stomach feeling watching people die in numbers all around you even your loved ones before people simply go mad enough to risk their own life in a violent protest .

Other countries know war and being bombed , they know what they need to do and this is take a chance to save what they have got even if it means they die in the process .

I have to say , i am getting to that point because bullshit tv or anyother simple daily activity just does not do it for me anymore not when I know damn well if I continue to sit here and do nothing then they will come for me . I don't know how anyone can sit back and enjoy the simple offerings we have when such horrid things are happening all around us . This in itself is sickening . i feel everyone is alone in their decision , you either do the outrage for yourself and hope others follow or you sit and wait until you can't fight back .

You can't go out and make a sacrifice for your neighbor you have to do it for yourself , who can you count on , there won't be some mass movement . So if I drive to washington and fire at the whitehouse and get gunned down , well then I have my answer and then who will follow .

Maybe we have enough in numbers but how do you determine this . Some people like Cindy Sheehan took matters into her own hands to deal with her personal mission , she did it with one friend , she did not wait for you or me and she has a voice . I don't know how she affords this , she can't possibly be working at some job but somehow she manages .

We are told it is our vote that will take care of all , well that worked out quite well don't ya think ?

What do we do , post a date and place and who ever is serious sign up and make sure you show up and be willing to leave all your belongings behind ,just pack a bag of clothes and get with it . well this would be your sacrifice and it may well be worth it in the end .

This reminds me of shawshank redemption " either get busy living or get busy dying " Well they suffered enough and had nothing to loose . Seems like the only way to me .
