legislation? lol.

this is a paradigm shift of major proportions,. humanity sinks or swims on how it preforms in the coming days,. we either come together as one world and one people,. and improve the world, and how we live,. or we watch as it dies taking us with it,. it is really simple. sink or swim. what do you want?

Globalization is the greatest screw job of all time.

We Americans have bought that hook, line, and sinker. Nobody but me wants to refute that line of crap. Globalization is their trick word for slavery. If you ever want middle class jobs to make a decent living with benefits, I'm your only hope because I will clear that subject up.

Slavery was abolished by the 13th Amendment. Stop all slave made imports under the constitution. Its that simple.

The teabag party started in April 09.

They didn't start "producing legislation" until this year.

OWS compared to the Tea Party

read more http://overthecoals.blogspot.com/

Christine O'Donnell was nominated in Delaware to be the Tea Party Republican candidate for the United States Senate. OWS adamantly refuses to endorse much less nominate any candidate to run for election. The OWS believes that they can choose demands that will be enacted by merely sitting in the park holding signs and having petitions signed.

The Tea Party demands to get government out of the lives of all except for sexual behavior. Christine O'Donnell claimed she was against masturbation. Does Christine actually know what masturbation is and has Christine ever masturbated? Christine went right down the line about gay marriage and abortion. Now that Christine has been video taped and has written a book the OWS would be wise to consider making her the poster child for the right wing nuts.

Instead of using Christine O"Donnell as the poster child for Republicans, the OWS prefers to claim that they are the 99% which mathematically includes the 35% of American Republicans who gave a knee jerk reaction applause to Rick Perry when Rick bragged that as Governor of Texas he leads the nation http://www.deathpenaltyinfo.org/number-executions-state-and-region-1976 by far. Perry was proud that he executed 234 and Perry believes that to be thoughtful.

Rick is welcome and cheered by the media and nothing he says is conclusive to any American that he is a ridiculous imbecile. At best they make jokes about him but the jokes ignore the stupidity of all Americans to give his candidacy any credibility.

With Obama on record for being a liar on every campaign promise, and being wrong on every decision he has made in office, the OWS fails to see any opportunity to nominate any candidate for election. During my experience with hundreds of OWS people in person in the park and on the OWS forum they are as uniformly ridiculous and naive as the Tea Party. With all of this clearly on the record, the only conclusion possible is that America is doomed.

OWS is not going to do that it appears. It looks like protestors are being used to marginalize protesting with dysfunctional strategy. No accountability from any of the many "leaders":) -

It appears its an exercise in compromising perceptions and turning America against protests by disorganized young people and getting cops used to trashing them. Does not make sense. And I've been testing it trying to see that each protestors time and commitment amounts to something tangible.-----

Seems to be a social thing, a new form of socialism. Very weird, lots of prejudice against age and knowledge of US law. Perhaps its a new form of insurrection that takes over the society in cities and eventually they will accept anything. Of course that will be a signal that the same regimen will be applied everywhere in an escalation of the removal of the very rights the protestors are currently using.

LAMO, have you ever seen "Children of the corn"?

Hmmmm, yes, and your implication that it has been used to define the unity they have is logical. Media has been conditioning us for at least 2 generations quite heavily. Fantasy and intrigue are major players in the posting that I see.

I have been trying to get to the essence of what The People need to do with their momentum, especially over the winter, to take control of their own government; instead of begging criminals for respect from the streets:

Here are my thoughts so far:

The People will need:

1) Publically verifiable, constant, Internet Voting (to guarantee a reliable vote, 24/7)

2) A new law compelling government, and all its associates, to follow the popular vote

3) Audits of all government spending and money printing (we must control the money, this is key)

4) Organized, nationwide, tax withholding to defund our enemies (we must force our control on them and not let their laws scare us into sheep)

We could get this by next year if we worked at it. I say we go for it, because our government has a million problems, and even with the people passing many new laws it will still take years to find all the problems and vote them out of our country. Let's start now.
