[kj] OT - Tunis, Egypt, Lybia.. WisCairo??

[sade1]

There's more depth & significance to this whole "Wiscairo" situation than anyone 
(with any real reach to the people) is explaining. 

(on the bright side, a rich Egyptian protester called up from Egypt to the local 
Domino's Pizza and bought pizzas to feed all the Wisconsin capitol 
protesters! Shokran! )

gypsies---they were trade unionists." And "as defined by its inventor, Benito 

 Mussolini, fascism is " 'corporate control of the state.' "

Plus there is of late a whole slew of op/eds ending with some version 
of,"where's Obama on all this?" and 

"How will Obama respond?" ad infinitum, ad nauseam, ad absurdium,  which brings 
to mind a couple of
 quotes from Killing Joke, "Hope is for the loser!" and "confirm your worst 
fears."

In recent history in the U.S., people are not afraid that a peaceful
protest about any issue (even if protesters have guns and/or on
private property) will cause police or national guard to respond with
deadly force or at worst beyond crowd-dispersal tactics. Military
forces supposedly are not allowed to fight in the U.S., and that has
not happened in quite a long time. (Military were involved in New
Orleans / Katrina, for example, supposedly not against the people but
for emergency efforts.) Tradition is that physical crowds in the U.S.
do not face the level of physical threats as in many other nations.
(Not to ignore Kent State and various small-scale, private nuts.)
