@Silenus6 You must not have heard his last interview where he said we are in Iraq for the wrong reasons and we should have been out a long time ago.

This will stabilize the population and loosen the grip of the corporations and government on whom we now DEPEND to live. Put the basics of living into the hands of the population and you will see a nation of truly free people that impliment sane laws that are for and by the people. What you will NOT see are desperate, hungry people rioting in the streets while the banking/corporate world strips us of every right and every comfort and every law that can protect us.

A REAL fix may seem utterly unreal to most but would actually save the patient, i.e. hold an American Jubilee and forgive ALL personal debt. Eliminate hoarding of wealth, mandate that every American not ill or too young or old should make themselves self sustaining in their food supply and shelter, then mandate that it is the right of every American to a share of the land and resources they need to become and remain self sustaining.

@MrSonofahbeech cops are hurting the protestors. he started saying all of this because he saw a cop hit a woman in the face. protesters have no equipment to protect themselves and they have no weapons. cops are acting like the protesters are dangerous. lol theyre afraid of something thats not threatening.
