The Nevada Standoff Has Nothing To Do With "Tyranny," "Sovereignty," "Freedom," or Cows.

[The Straight Story]

91. Truthful or not

It skirts the core issues that are being brought to forefront. Regardless of who benefits (and they may well) that does not decide the overall moral/etc ideals at play in this particular case.

I.e. The motivation behind some of those who might possibly be involved is not relevant. Either the laws are good and make sense or they do not.

If our government has failed anywhere it is in not putting the kochs behind bars for a plethora of things they have done. Letting laws be changed is one thing, letting them be so that only a few can take advantage of them is another.

In this case - whether or not the kochs were involved - a group of people came together to protest a government action.

Now that is something we should all be doing more of so that the few aren't buying our politicians and making our votes pretty well moot on many issues. Whether one likes the group getting involved in this case or not does not matter, it is the idea of not just sitting around and complaining about it and saying we can't do anything that is the problem. That is why I liked OWS, people were out, in force, getting out a message that was hard to ignore.
