Take Back America

It's time we take to the streets in the US and protest.
We need to protest the banks, unemployment, government waste, balooning deficit, government corruption, graft, taxes, and wasted public money.
Protest social security scams, stock market scams, and the government.
We need to protest the legal system and the incarceration rate of nonviolent crimes.
When are we going to take to the street like Tunisia, Egypt, and Bahrain?
What would you protest? What do you think?

Any idea of "freedom" that you think we have is an illusion, we have the exact amount of freedom that they want us to have. If it's in their plans for us to protest, then it will happen. The revolution will not be televised.

Good luck. You can't fight city hall; fight with guerilla warfare, fight for yourself. IMO This war is already lost.
The U.S. is not like other countries. America it better than most people in the world, face it. We don't need to fight to survive, because here in America people fight over money and materials, and power. The American citizen is powerless in the face of the law. Most people are dumb, the world turns fast. Look at our history. The laws do not aim to protect, they aim to keep power where it is and keep the powerless stupid and quiet.
If anyone was to lead a revolution, what strategy would they use and how many would follow? I doubt there would be a quick way to do it. Or an effective way. People would be too stupid or scared to rebel. Maybe some Christianity-related scheme could get 'em going. Still you would need some powerful figures on your side, and a healthy dose of violence. IMO it is a lost cause and as a powerless American individual it is wiser to stay introverted in your own little bubble as the world crumbles. This thing is bigger than you. Hopefully you will be dead before the shit really hits the fan. You never know, though.
Change in the law may happen but it will happen slow, slower than you will want. Life is short, fend for yourself and do what is important to you, know your priorities. Distance yourself from society as it implodes. Try not to contribute to it, try not to ignore it but know your limits.
Live for the 
Kick back, relax, get high, continue your illegal activities. Or do whatever you think will work, realistically. Change the world! Educate and affect the people you know.

Banks are good, unemployment isn't something to protest, government waste is gonna happen no matter what, deficit the same, as long as there are human beings there will be corruption, taxes are good.
Stock market scams are individual crimes where people are incarcerated by the government you hate so much.
If I were to protest anything, it would be the fact you can't smoke in bars anymore... Bars are for degenerate slobs and party goers that don't want, nor deserve fresh air.

There's nothing worth protesting for as of right now. Besides, there are plenty of other hippies out there to take my place amongst the ranks of liberal droids.

Liberal droids? I thought the tea party took over the fruit cake protesting population?
No one knows what the fuck they're talking about on either side... American protests = circus freak show.

We have to realize that in order to have a free-market economy we must accept the fact that the market, unemployment, and other figures will have to fluctuate. We will never be at equilibrium for very long, but we will have time of economic prosper as well. It just takes time.....
IMO when our generation gets into office we will get our revolution. This also just takes time, our generation is thinking more radical then ever. Frankly, we have to wait for the old-time thinkers to die for modern day thinkers to weed their way up the ranks to actually pull some weight in the country.
I believe we are gonna get what we want. This really is a land for the people, but being the younger generation our ideas just dont pull weight yet

I'm 27, not far off... the thing is though, the generations before us wanted similar things, some things they got, some things they didn't. I agree some things will 'progress' as the generations evolve, but you're still going to have people with opposing view points no matter what their age is.
I party with guys who are 60 and still in bands and shit... I go on vacations with people in their 30's, and we all have pretty much the same kinds of ideas despite the age gap.
I see where you're coming from, but remember, nothing you're thinking has never been thought of before and no matter what generation it is, nothing is going to happen in any direction without a force moving it. Things wont just 'Get better' with generations to come.

The countries of the middle east live without many of the luxuries us Americans get. They protest and rebel for real shit. Americans are actually some of the more spoiled in the world... Goes to show the sad state of humans... We all want to live nicely though, without the Man intruding and stealing our hard-earned cash. Don't know if any of us will live to see that day, especially not legally. If you want to get close you could build yourself a self-sustainable home, off the radar, grow all the drugs you want, grow all your own resources.

Living off the radar? Sorry man, you're dreaming if you think that's possible.
