> Our elected officials heard us today - from seemingly nowhere, that the status quo isn't acceptable Do you really think they didn't already know that? Do you think they give a fuck? Do you think they might just be doing whatever the hell they damn well please, despite all of it being against the people's will? This isn't about calling "your" (read: "Wall Street's" etc) representatives. It's not about pleading for less intrusive and oppressive "governance". You know, letters or phone calls don't actually compel politicians to do anything. This is about a small group of people being in power, and everyone else subject to it. Do you think you need a bunch of rulers? Can't you make your own decisions? -Should someone be "legislating" your life? Would you like to have a personal law just for you that mandated eating your veggies and exercising regularly? Would you want that law enforced through violence if necessary? -No? What if someone decided to force you to exercise anyway? Would that be alright? It's for your own good, after all! -No? But.. why? Why would that not be alright, if the government forcing you to pay taxes or buy insurance is alright?
