When the Patriot Act passed, we didn't storm Congress and demand action.
When Bush invaded Iraq, we didn't set off firecrackers outside the White House burning "1, 2, 3, 4, We don't want your fucking war" into the sky like we did with Vietnam.
There were no anti-DHS protests. There was nothing.
And then, after all those years when the protests actually DID start, the police told us to stay out of sight in designated protest zones...AND WE FUCKING LISTENED.
Yes, there is something we can do about it. But there's nothing we are doing about it. That's what we need to focus on, the actual galvinization en mass of the entire populace. And here's a hint: it doesn't involve petitions.
The population is too polarized, scared, complacent, and most importantly preoccupied to take part in demonstrations. Things will have to get painfully bad before they get better. Buckle up.
So therefore forget about it?....the only thing the population is, is uneducated about currency creation....most people get mad when they know they are being ripped off, problem is most don't know they're getting ripped off and they don't know how....it is up to those of us who understand to show the way to the others....not by forcing info down their throats, but by simply setting an example.
So my buddies were talking about The Super Bowl and I walked up and asked "but what about this fractional reserve banking shit, amiright?" After I tipped over the trash can and climbed out I decided to fake liking baseball.
But seriously, I don't forget...I think about this shit everyday. But until other people are forced to think about it they will continue to not give a fuck. I am just doing the best that I can to make solid connections with people and getting good at gardening.

The issue isn't that we can't.
