(45,251 posts)stupidly and for no reason whatever. I just don't think there are enough people like me to avoid the "stupidly and for no reason" part.
If there are, organizing them would take time and money and effort. People with day jobs don't have tons of any of those. It would also take a way to keep it out of the attention of the NSA.
And, first, the police and maybe the military, would have to be on our side--and a lot of effort has been put into both those groups to avoid that result. (The revolutions in Russia failed until the Russian military joined them, so the right went all over the military and the cops, like red on blood.)
So, that' is how we allow it. We don't have a lot of realistic choices. Sorry to be a downer, but I don't think they are going to give anything to us and I don't think the voting booth has been proving a good answer since LBJ and the Great Society.
