At Least We Know How To Spell!
And our movement isn't named after a sex act.

I've been watching the news, and I have yet to see a misspelled sign.

Smerkonish, however, wants to incite a fear of "revolution" (his words) in his interview with David Corn. What a fucking moron. I wish we had a revolution. This capitalism thing has run its course. It continuously eats itself by hoarding all the money, and when the masses have nothing with which to pay for products, they expect the public (government controlled by corporatists) to "infuse" some money back into the general population, only to be cycled anew.

Smerkonish fears a revolution. I say "BRING IT ON!"
