Its a good Docu- glad you watched it!
If other countries did what we have, they would have failed quickly- within a decade. We have made it because of only 'faith' in the american dollar by countries around the world. That faith over the past year is disapearing fast. And its deserved, because there should be no faith in it. Things need to be fixed NOW, not just for Americans- but because this country holds 45% of the worlds wealth. When we hit a true depression, everybody worldwide (to a point,) will suffer.
If we were a truly caring country- like weve been brainwashed by the media and told by the US govt., we would fix whats wrong to keep from hurting the world. Money is as strong a weapon as a Fighter dropping a cluster bomb.
So, Im still with this Occupy Wall Street. But they need to start asking to end our fucking pointless wars. we spend 1.5 trillion a year on that. We spend another trillion on all of our bases worldwide- how would we feel as americans to have chinese, german, afghani etc bases on our soil? Yet we seem to think we have this right to be policing the world.
We have every right to HELP the world, with money. Donations. Care.. love. And dont accuse me of being some hippy because that is not me
NEOREV- those police beating vids suck. When I was in chicago for the Prodigy gig a few years back, I noticed the military attitude of the cops there. i know its worse in NYC. To this day, police and american citizens are to have equal rights- meaning we can arrest as they do. Now they are taser happy. the OWS group needs to fight to remind police that they are public servants.. not 'officials' as they are called now. Their job is to support our rights- and they are violating them.
There are some HUGE protests in minneapolis right now, 3 hours drive from here- that police mentality hasent set in there yet. Hope the media covers what is going on there soon.
Im in Fargo ND... and if youve seen the movie.. no we dont talk like that... except for some of the elders
