A couple options:

1. Move yourself to a fascist country that doesn't tolerate free speech or public dissent.

2. Move your money to a credit union so you don't have to be seen supporting an institution that already stole your/our tax dollars.

Slightly lower CO2 emissions. Unfortunately though, petrol diesel produces higher amounts of soot and black carbon. You know, the stuff that made everybody hack and cough when you made your first round through the protest...

Personally, I'm confused every time I hear someone claim that they're unsure of the movement's objectives. I would attribute this to sloppy journalism that has a tendency to use broad strokes and focus on superfluous (yet sensational) issues and/or an apathetic public that simply doesn't care, or...

Probably because the Tea Party doesn't have the same level of conviction as the WI demonstrators, their antics are the McDonald's of activism, and they have the largest corporations in the world on their side. Just a guess...

@poisonapple16 The folks that pay for the unions do care. That's why hundreds of thousands of them are demonstrating in Madison, and millions are sympathetically demonstrating nationally. What are you missing?
