6. God, that's the big question, isn't it. After every new injustice that's uncovered -
and they're being uncovered daily, it seems -- I always think whoa, THIS is gonna blow the lid off.

When we take to the streets we're ignored. We need our elected officials to do something -- dare I say it? -- Republican-like and raise hell about it.

Then the question becomes, how do we get our guys to DO that? They've not been very impressive thus far.

I think of all the other countries where revolutions have been successful. But even though I tend to think that they always begin with a rag-tag army of idealists, I think the truth of the matter is they have financial backing from governments who want to see them succeed.

Think Castro. Hell, think of America funding all the overthrows that we (they) felt would benefit us.

It's always the money. It's always the fucking money.

So there's the answer. Money.
