:sarcasm: I am not targeting you specifically but the attitude in general. This was the same bilge water that has been spewed every time folks tried to make a change. People were for the Civil Rights Movement but opposed the Marches because they blocked the roadway and made people late for work. So sorry you were inconvenienced folks.:eyes: That's the same tired backstabbing attitudes and statements that you heard during the AntiWar Movement. It really wasn't until people hit the streets that politicians sat up and took notice. You like the benefits of Democracy, but you don't want to be inconvenienced for it.

Change can be messy sometimes-and we need some major changes in this country. I say it is about time some folks ARE inconvenienced. Congress hasn't been inconvenienced enough to pull the tax credits from the oil companies when they posted obscene profits and given more breaks to renew ables. They are bailing out Bear Stern but honest homeowners are left twisting in the wind, because they don't want to inconvenience Wall Street. Congress changes the bankruptcy laws and passes something that MBNA wrote (that screws the public) and they can't be inconvenienced to cap the interest rates?

I think it is high time some folks to feel inconvenienced. Yes it is tough on the average folks-but something needs to shake some folks in power up a bit. They are way to insulated to the suffering that is going on.
