This Could Be A Summer of Fire

[ThomWV]

For the last couple of days I have had the riots of the late 60's in my mind. I was in Washington when it burned, I was in Miami when it burned as well. The reasons for the riots then were entirely different and entirely the same as circumstances presented to us now. Millions of people with no where to go, no hope of a better future, no representation in Government, no recourse in the courts, no protection from predatory wealth. Racial tension, joblessness, inflation, and no effective Government at all for those on the bottom.

All it would take is a spark and the tender is gettin' dryer every day.

Immunity for Libby, immunity for an entire industry. Spying and financial rape, the few getting every break, the many getting tossed out of their homes and worst of all - the incessant, never ending, mind-numbing-drone of the lies. Not one word coming out of Washington can be trusted.

This could be a summer of fire, and if it is it will be a horrible thing but the pendulum swings wider with each pass and the insults grow worse by the day. I don't think we are a nation of sheep and I don't think we will take it much longer.

4. I was just watching CNN - saw the 'big increase in food prices'

... crawler and had a thought-flash ... we are on our way to becoming Russia in the 70's --- bread lines, no infrastructure, hopeless and disenfranchised people ... but we have some big-ass bombs ... :eyes:

:scared: This ain't gonna be pretty.

5. It is almost verbatim

from "The Shock Doctrine" what is going on. I think we as a nation were in denial that certain things could not happen here because we are the US and we are a super power. But look at us now. We are indentured slaves, homeless, hungry, powerless. I think this is an absolute recipe for a "fire". The only questions is when, were and how bad; and what will the PTB do to keep the status quo.

9. Freepers were concerned back in 2000 that Clinton would declare 'Marshall' Law and cancel elections

My question: Who the heck is Marshall?
