You’re right Windflier, but we have not yet exhausted all other measures yet. But I do fear that it won’t take much more to raise the level of anger in our country. But I think when it overloads it won’t be coming from Patriots as us Freepers..it’ll come when the welfare recepiants no longer get their handouts....and the Democrates will use them to their advantage in every way.

I’ve found in the past week I simply have had to turn the TV off and cut down on news stories...even turned off Fox and radio. First time ever in my life to do so...but the only way I’ve found to regain balance with the emotional level within over the happenings we’re seeing today.

I think that's true. We haven't yet mounted a sustained protest in DC - one that goes around the clock, and continues until we get some redress from our government. Such a protest is a step up from a one day, organized event, such as we've had before.

There is also civil disobedience, which can take a multitude of forms. That's also a step up from what we've been doing, yet still far short of the final step.

Yeah, I have to do that at times too. I am a delivery driver so I listen to talkshows all day. Still when I start to get full, I like to listen to my "oldies 1980's music" on various stations. A side note, I can't believe the music I listened to in the 1970's and 1980's as a kid are oldies now. B-) There are times I have to fire up the computer and play Diablo for a time or my Playstation. Yeah, I look at it this way, we are like soldiers fighting for freedom but there are times we need a little R&R. B-) If the balloon ever goes up and you hear the battle cry "I miss the 1980's!" chances are it's me. B-)
