What to do about it? At the moment I think spreading the word and convincing people of the truth is the most important thing. At some point they will do something again that touches off protests. This time, instead of protesting the symptoms of the problem, Wall Street criminality, guns, gays, pot..., lets go after the root cause of why our Representatives represent corporations and the 1% instead of John and Jane Q. Public. Lets demand Publicly Funded Elections and complete campaign finance reform. It will be one hell of a fight, but it is a fight we have to take on if we want a safe and healthy environment for our future generations! We owe it to them, and I for one want a little payback on these crooks!
