So once the anger dies

[nadinbrzezinski]

what are we gonna do about healthcare?

I suspect not much.

Me, will place my obligatory calls to congress... not that it does a whit of difference.

Will talk about it, not that it makes a whit of difference.

You know why? We need to do something far more radical than calling congress. they don't work for us, and we need more than just talk.

Oh go march... nope.

That will not be enough either...

I have advocated before and I will again, what we need in this country, and that is just the beginning, are national strikes... and I mean the NATIONAL part.

We need far more than just that...

And we need to decide. Are we willing to die for what we need? If not, go back to the slumber.

That is all...

1. strike or strikeout?

I say we shut this place down. Stop working, stop doing everything except eating and shut this country down and retake it from the corporate Plutocrats that OWN US

[nadinbrzezinski]

10. STRIKE... STRIKE, STRIKE... STRIKE

a lovely word, not used much anymore...

:-)

[Dinger]

2. 4th Rec. There Should Be Many More

:patriot:

[JuniperLea]

3. We need a turnout as large or larger than...

The march against Bush's war... remember?

[nadinbrzezinski]

4. And that did what? No, we need to shut down the country

STRIKE.

[JuniperLea]

6. Of course!

I was thinking in terms of both:)

[AuntPatsy]

7. 1+

[valerief]

5. Maybe Europe will cover it. It will be blacked out here. Still worth doing. nt

[nadinbrzezinski]

8. Shutting down the country will be far more effective

than a march that is never on the TV... marches get nothing these days...

I like to ask, when was the last National Strike?

1952

Why is it that people are allergic to the word STRIKE?

Propaganda.

[JuniperLea]

9. In conjunction with a strike...

It would get attention! I'm betting "The Liberal Media" won't march, so they will be available to work that day.

[Stinky The Clown]

11. First you get angry .... then it festers ..... then it metastisizes ..... then you get radicalized

We all dwell somewhere along that line.

K&R

[nadinbrzezinski]

13. As you can tell I am now a radical

I became one over the last ten years... hey thanks George.

:-)

[Stinky The Clown]

14. Heh ........

.... y'ain't alone, sistah! :hug:

[nadinbrzezinski]

15. For the moment looking for them free health clinics

to give twenty to...

I suspect I should get recert as an EMT... we will need it.

[indepat]

19. What comes out of the Congress with respect to health care will define, imnsho, just how corrupt,

venal, and self-serving the Congress is for it will tell us definitively just how beholden Congress is to corporate interests rather than to the interests of the people in the context of our founding documents to promote the general welfare, not corporate welfare. ;)

[niyad]

17. I have been a radical all my life-bush and co just confirmed it.

[sam sarrha]

12. the anger will never die as long as there is a ReThuglican to spew it

[Ozymanithrax]

16. The last natioanl strike was in 1952...

that was before Televison and Consumerism came into full affect.

I suspect Americans aer too compromised to do anything like a naitonal strike.

[create.peace]

18. If all those who could cancel their health insurance, would....

What if we just took their toys away...I would have 4200 more dollars a year, myself. I have never used my insurance, been paying for years. DH is a vet and has great care at the VA....

[AngryAmish]

20. Who cares about healthcare? We are bombing the fucking moon.

That's right. We. Are. Bombing. The. Moon. Let that sink in.

[nadinbrzezinski]

21. We are not bombing the moon

we are using a rod from god... kinetic energy.

And the budget for nasa is less than 1% of our yearly budget... and that BASIC research translates to Earth.

Let that sink in.

[AngryAmish]

22. We spend 1% of our budget bombing the moon?

What have the moonmen ever done to us? I'm sure that will look great at the UN.

[nadinbrzezinski]

23. NASA, this project is actually pretty cheap

And the UN is looking forwards to the results. Say this after me, MOON COLONY... if there is water THERE it will be that far cheaper to set it up.

[AngryAmish]

24. Why are we bombing the moon colony, then?
