I should warn you, I have recently fallen over the edge of the precipice and there is no more waiting, IMO. I am sick of the killing, lying, cheating, stealing and abusing, and I am so tired of watching well-intentioned people try to use these broken systems to stop the inevitable.

I am convinced that a general strike is the only way and the time is NOW. I don't know how to make it happen, so for the last couple weeks I am spending about 5-10 hours a week doing it - demonstrating at the Federal bldg almost every day after work, and talking to the people passing by, and everyone likes the idea. We just need to DO IT. Because the people (and I don't mean Democratic activists, I mean everyone) are ready. I have a sign that says

99% OF THE POLITICIANS ARE IGNORING 99% OF THE PEOPLE

and not one person has disagreed with that. Democrat, Republican, Independent, Apolitical, doesn't matter. They all agree. Even if they don't like the "Impeach Bush" sign that my partner-in-protest is holding (a lot of people think that won't make enough of a difference).

The people are ready. So why are we all just sitting around?
