OK, we're pretty pissed off, what can we do about it?

2. Yes, they will (that was a sign in our field office when I worked for the japanese yeas ago)

[Enrique]

3. call your reps

especially the dems. Tell them to kill the deal.

[TBF]

8. Sure, that will help. *sarcasm tag* nt

[Taverner]

4. Well, if you asked me, I'd say its time to work outside the free speech zone

Ya know?

[TBF]

9. Yup. nt

[HopeHoops]

5. Write your Senators

[villager]

6. People will keep paying their bills, and going to work...

some of them.

Though what are the people who can't pay their bills, and don't have any work, doing?

One time, Martin Luther King was on the cusp of organizing such people for a "Poor People's March on Washington." We saw what the system did to him, in response.

As we're seeing it with Assange.

7. Nothing while you still live in a country where tons think they're going to be the next Bill Gates.

Instead of merely being secure and having a wage that keeps up with the cost of living, everyone thinks they're going to be the next lottery winner.

"Nope. I wanna be the next Bill Gates! Fox News always tells me how easy it is, and all that separates me from these lazy schmuck liberals is that I work HARD and don't whine."

Yeah. Good Luck with That.

[Scurrilous]

10. Start a thread.

11. Get involved in your local Dem party

And START SHOUTING PEOPLE DOWN!

[Catherina]

12. Organize and resist, outside their free speech zone as someone pointed out,

13. Break out of the false dichotomies!

Free your thinking up.

Learn new things, especially when it comes to the magic spell of language and subtle influence. Rather than just reacting, put the energy into understanding and utilize that and ... everything.

Unlearn indoctrinations and givens. Find out more about beliefs and how they function. Is it dangerous to know that they are often learned and can be mutable and transformative when you utilize integrity and apply your congruent values?

Find more and more flexibility and strive to increase choices, (of every kind) for yourself and others instead of taking them away or limiting them. One option is robotic, (in most cases). Two options are really just a dilemma. Three choices are still rather limiting, but four or more can be liberating. Move from the kneejerk black and white to the wealth of shades and colors a little more each day by acknowledging them.

Shifting from rigid, Aristotelian thinking to a more Quantum, Cartesian model might be fun. Maybe logic?

Consider giving more credence to the way you and others are functioning by seeing the processes and strategies and putting less emphasis on just the contents.

Teach your children that there are absolutely no bad words; there is merely context and quantity concerning their use. They can learn to use words that the Aristocracy labeled "vulgar", (of the common people) in the right place and the right time and without wearing them out. They will think freely with the tools they have.

Change can be fast and easy and enjoyable as an artform, so the "slow-pain-gain meme" is a place to inspect your own limitations and anchors.

Break out of the dichotomies designed to keep you inside them! Always proceed from there!

14. Right, that makes a lot of sense in a Republican dominated world....

15. Only one thing that can be done....

It ain't easy, it won't happen overnight, it requires organizing, it requires organizations, it won't be a one day thing, it will be a beginning, not an end. In our numbers is our only strength. If we do not do this we are the most beaten down wretches to ever walk upright.
