Mon, July 31, 2006 - 6:03 PMDon't buy gas.....
But that leads to not working....
And that leads to bankrupcy...
...and a while down the line comes death.
They'll be making record profits till the oil runs out...
Only thing you can really do is take yourself off the grid and hope others will follow...if you're passionate enough about it...There will be no defeating of the corporations...there will be no revolution...there will only be a slow death for us all....
Thats my opinion anyway... -

Tue, August 1, 2006 - 4:33 AMMic...I do not believe the situation is as hopeless as you appear to feel it is...
I do believe that living off the grid as mch as possible is not a bad idea
but it is pretty hard..they have us ...up against the wall...
but also I believe getting active in politics..and finding the leader that has your ideas..
and work your butt off to help him get elected
because what we need is new leaders..
the ones we have are leading us down this path..
the BUSHWACKER REGIME..are sucking this country dry~ -

Wed, August 2, 2006 - 7:00 PMIts not just the leaders, Heron. Its the system. Its called Corporate Advantage... Corporations, in the law, have legal entity status....if money is free speech, they have a lot more than any individual...thus more freedom of speech. They are de-regulated so that they can pollute the oceans, the rivers, the land and the air, and the best that a Democrat...the best that anyone that is "not" a corporate whore can do is slow them down.... Politicians in America, right now, are just puppets and the system is broken.... But...I mean, sure....have hope..I used to.... -

but... all is not lost..
unless you as the younger generation..
have only anx and apathy...
we need your bright minds...AND ENERGY......to change this country..
we need your help.... we are in this together..
and leaders are very important..because..THEY ORCHESTRATE THE LAWS
that may be an illusion..but that is the system we have to work with..
I say...work your butt off..to get a legal accountable voting system in this country..one that can be verified..
LOTS OF STATES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE COUNTRY ..DO NOT HAVE PAPER BALLOTS.. like we do here in Ma
and support small busness as much as you can
I boycott..Duncan Donuts and Walmart... and try to stay out of CVS..too
Support your local businesses...I am a small business person..and I AM STRUGGLING..like I have never before to keep my little
business afloat..because....its a way of life we are losing..
there are small ways.... you still have power..
you just have to find wher you have it..and get your friends to bond together..
and ..I truly believe in Duval...
