Reply #12: Democracy is on the streets

[tomorrowsashes]

I for one hope that there are confrontations, and stuff does happen. I don't wanna see violence against people, which would almost definitely be caused by the cops, but I wouldn't mind seeing what happened in Seattle happen in New York. I'm tired of people waiting until November, convinced that it will bring about some great change of tides where everything wrong with our country up to that point will be fixed by John Kerry. Democracy is not every four years. Democracy is not in the pollbooth. Democracy is the protestors in New York. Democracy is the EZLN fighting for autonomy in Mexico. Democracy is right here, and right now. People need to make their voice heard. I won't cry at the smashed Gap store. Change won't come through submission.
