violent protest only gives the government puppets a excuse to bring in police & come down hard on us, with us getting hurt.

If you (plural) are certain a problem exist why not start by finding way to address this issue?
Any thoughts?

This waking up crap is funny to me,I have to work at 6am......going to bed,you people are strange and I have to go to work and serve people....you wake up and go live your life.
People want solutions for hunger, poverty and conflict but are too often told there is no alternative to what exists.....there are only a few lucky ones the rest of us work for them.

Everybody wants it but nobody wants to be the first to do it.
If Facebook were a country, it would hold a population of 800 Million people, making it the 3rd biggest country in the world, preceded only by China and India.

Humans inherently exploit their environment for resources and in general, humans take what they think they need.
Animals do the same thing.
500 years ago if a peasants shadow where to touch a Nobel or a Law Enforcement officer the penalty was death, instantly.
Life expectancy today without all the medications and treatments that exits?
We have raised life expecteancy in the United States today, to that of 85 as opposed to 50 years of age, in the last 100 years.
There is the Internet, Cells Phones and essentially the means to know what is going on, on Earth. In an relatively small amount of time as compared to say 100 years ago)..
Any thoughts?

We are not slaves. We are sentient and liberated. Although, the "game" of oppressors and slaves does bring about a shared sense of suffering, a comradery between fellow beings. The truth of this game is that we are only slaves to our own suffering, and freedom can only arise through the acceptance of our own freedom of choice within the laws of nature.
Total U.S. liquid fuel production breaks down to 7.4 million barrels per day of crude and condensate, 2.5 million of liquid natural gas and 1 million of biofuels. Saudi Arabia and Russia each still produce about 3 million more barrels of crude oil per day than the United States.
PIRA expects American output of liquid fuels to grow faster than Saudi Arabia and Russia, and believes the United States will retain its status as top oil producer until at least 2030.
“The U.S. position as the largest oil supplier in the world looks to be secure for many years,” they wrote.
The U.S. will remain the world’s biggest oil producer this year after overtaking Saudi Arabia and Russia as extraction of energy from shale rock spurs the nation’s economic recovery, Bank of America Corp. said.
U.S. production of crude oil, along with liquids separated from natural gas, surpassed all other countries this year with daily output exceeding 11 million barrels in the first quarter, the bank said in a report today. The country became the world’s largest natural gas producer in 2010. The International Energy Agency said in June that the U.S. was the biggest producer of oil and natural gas liquids.
“The U.S. increase in supply is a very meaningful chunk of oil,” Francisco Blanch, the bank’s head of commodities research, said by phone from New York. “The shale boom is playing a key role in the U.S. recovery. If the U.S. didn’t have this energy supply, prices at the pump would be completely unaffordable.”
"My fellow Americans, let us take that first step. Let us...step back from the shadow of war and seek out the way of peace. And if that journey is a thousand miles, or even more, let history record that we, in this land, at this time, took the first step."
"Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable."
"Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or the present are certain to miss the future."
"The United States, as the world knows, will never start a war. We do not want a war. We do not now expect a war. This generation of Americans has already had enough — more than enough — of war and hate and oppression. We shall be prepared if others wish it. We shall be alert to try to stop it. But we shall also do our part to build a world of peace where the weak are safe and the strong are just. We are not helpless before that task or hopeless of its success."
"A revolution is coming - a revolution which will be peaceful if we are wise enough; compassionate if we care enough; successful if we are fortunate enough - but a revolution which is coming whether we will it or not. We can affect its character, we cannot alter its inevitability."
"Geography has made us neighbors. History has made us friends. Economics has made us partners, and necessity has made us allies. Those whom God has so joined together, let no man put asunder."
John F. Kennedy

Any thoughts?
Has the public grown so use to scandal that most are willing to dismiss them or to excuse them when they arise?
