Reply #8: Billy, if you substituted "we" for "they"

[dotymed]

it would be just as true. WE need to unite, no matter what your political persuasion, if you are suffering . This suffering is unique to the non-wealthy citizens of the world. It is past time WE add our name to this list of inhumane suffering.

This must be a trans-continent (plus Alaska and Hawaii) demonstration that lasts until it is effective. We could do this as we can if necessary. We can (must usually) still earn or fulfill our obligations and, if necessary, Demonstrate in shifts or whatever is necessary. That we get our message through to the ruling elite, and they act on it, is what is important.

A response of force or negative consequences should only double our resolve.

Non-violence (IMO) will be the most effective. Who can fight a country that spends more than all other nations combined, on "defense?"

When the world PTB realize that they have global discontent and demonstrations, they will be forced to accede important accommodations, fight or abdicate.

Either way, WE WIN. If they fight and we remain peaceful, day after day, they lose.
