7. Don't you know?

The Washington Post reported that $2 trillion has been spent since 9/11 on the "war on terror". Interference with foreclosures does terrorize the banksters, doesn't it?

8. $2 trillion that could have been spent on housing

and jobs and healthcare and education - not weapons and more surveillance and more police.

Our founders would be calling for a second revolution if they were alive.

5. Cops look so cute in their little Darth Vader outfits.

Do they know how ridicules they look? Are they turning violent, in part, as a reaction to their own clownish appearance?

Besides, Princess Leah was inside. The rebellion had to be put down.
