I'm here with you all above. So, the next real question (as has been the real question for a long time now) is

What can we Little People actually DO about this? I know that I'm not the one to start a Movement (as Arlo said), and Cindy Sheehan damn sure tried. No news of her lately. Did 'they' beat her into the ground too?

Do we really need a Castro, a Che, in the United States now? And just WHO would that be? Sorry, I know I'm just not up to the job.

And Jacqui, I hear you too. I have been there. Revenge is bitter sweet. Usually I can hold my tongue or my actions but not always. It's the 'not always' that come back to haunt me.

Voting just doesn't seem to be the answer anymore, if it ever has been.

Communism and Socialism seem like great ideals, but in practice they haven't really worked much better than Democracy and Capitalism.

It really seems to me that Democracy--rule by the people--has seriously failed in the United States. We've been screwing up for over 200 years now. (Yes, I know that isn't long in the Grand Scheme of things) It IS better than Divine Right of Bloodline/Inherited Privlige but there just HAS to be something better.
