Thank you all for restoring my faith in the people. I was beginning to think that America enjoyed being victimized by tyrants. If Bush is as evil as I think he is, he will surely win(?) the next election - by hook or by crook. Americans stood by in dismay as he won the last election (in spite of the dangling chads).

We're having the same problem with the liberals in B.C. Seems like statesman have been taken over by the politicians. Money rules. Whoever has the most money wins and on and on...

The only thing I have ever seen work (with the exception of the courageous Georgians in Russia) is an all out general strike. That means shut it down. Nobody works - bring the political machinery down by refusing to feed it. Start stocking your provisions and remember to help your neighbors. Problem is...which of the many issues should be resolved first? Isn't there a way to impeach this guy? Of course there are many clones ready to replace him.

Is this the end of America? Is democracy finished? Its really up to the people. It has to be demanded. It doesn't help to see Teddy sitting there shaking his head. Why didn't he stand up? Why doesn't anybody stand up? Is Bush really that powerful? Only if you give it to him. The power of America is the perception that Americans are strong and free. If Bush and his kind continue to strip Americans (Canadians, too) of their human rights and everybody just stands around and watches it go down, we are just as guilty.

Its the "bully syndrome" you know. Thats how they get their power. Push one person. If nobody reacts, push another. Pretty soon you can push anyone, because nobody will say anything for fear of being the next victim.

Fight tyranny every day. In your workplace. At home. At school. On the street. If someone says or does something thats unjust or just plain mean, say something. Tell them that its wrong. Stand up to it. Don't be afraid. Stop giving them so much power!
