HOW LONG MUST PEOPLE WAIT TO BE HEARD?


Protests in Boston. They have started peacefully but the targets, as in Boston, BOA (Bank of America, not for America;) the bank stays silent other than to get the police involved. It would seem  that the reason for the protests is being ignored as people are dragged off by the police.

It is not rocket science folks.  When people are forced to impotence, they will begin to form groups and band together against the common enemy.  The groups formed can be peaceful protests, marches, or militia confrontations.  Violence is not the only response to the futility of joblessness, hunger, being forced to beg for support, lack of medical care, and all the other evils being foisted on us as a result of the ignorance in the House and Senate and administration prior to the year 2000 and, instead of facing the reality of spending like drunken sailors, have put the country on the verge of a collapsed economy and a ready to rise up and fight populace.

People are advised if they don't like things as they are, vote against the people who are causing it.  If one could even trust fair practice in voting, it still wouldn't be enough voice.  Bush left a widely divided country and there is so much greed and corruption and false beliefs foisted on the public as truths, that there is little trust left anywhere, no longer even in churches.Angry people have reached a critical mass.  Throwing people in jail for expressing themselves is certainly no democratic solution.

Instead of adding alcohol to the fertilized ova as in Brave New World, the forces out to take control over the country are killing education.  We need more than crop pickers, Merry Maids, and landscapers.  Those with lots of money will always have jobs at minimum wage.  Lest we forget, however, they only represent the top 1% of our population.  Too many do not have a lawn and garden for which to hire a landscaper to care for...after, all, when you are reduced to living in your car you only need to find a free place to .keep yourself clean and one that flushes.

There are well over 357 articles matching the subject on Google.  Read all about it before it gets further out of hand and the media puts even more of a shush on it.

During the Tea Party protests, you contended that the protestors carrying signs reading "Take Back America" should have been arrested for sedition. Your link to the story of the "Occupy Boston" protest shows a participant holding a sign that reads "Take Back Boston". If the Tea Party protesters are guilty of sedition, isn't this sign carrier guilty of sedition as well?

IMO the First Amendment of the constitution protects the right of both the Tea Party and the Occupy Boston groups to protest; neither is guilty of sedition.
