I agree with much of what you say B/Wman, but what do we do when the "radicals" start disappearing from our society?
Do we just lie down and accept it?

I see many parallels between the Europe of the 1930s and the situation today. As I have said many times, the people who run and reallyt benefit from the capitalist system, will never ride off into the sunset. The power and privilige that they have held for centuries will have to be torn from them by blood and sweat.....and it's always the radicals who do the bleeding. Those with the slightest amount of money or power to be lost will stand back and shake their heads....pleading ignorance when the bloody game is over

The present shambles cant be fixed and I hope to see in the coming week massive demonstrations against the system....and more importantly, to see people begin to understand what they are demonstrating about. Not corrupt politicians, not greedy bankers, not a broken society.......but an economic/social system which encourages us to do disregard and abuse our fellow creatures.
