Twill not be roses here, at least, much like the IRAQ we were promised (Dick Cheney, wrong again...).

Why can't anyone here get angry too? I'm not saying "let's start a riot" I am just wondering where the outrage is. So, no, I guess it will never happen here. Unless there is a straw to break the back...what will that be?

YES

YES

YES

I salute you Icelanders, Iclandicites, Icers

What are they called over there anyway

The situation in Iceland scares me. For two reasons.

1. It is a major shipping route.

2. Americans might mistake Iceland for Canada and invade Canada!

Very scarey.

We should be protesting our government on a wide scale basis for its handling, and getting us into, this financial crisis. We should be ANGRY about these bailouts and footing the bill for their ineptitude.

But, the government knows we have the capability of holding them accountable. They know to the point that when they regulated all broadcasters to go digital in 2009, all of a sudden they realized that many poor people wouldn't be able to afford new TV sets. So, they offer a $40 "coupon" towards the purchase of a converter box.

That way, we can just be the sedentary sheep they want us to be, directing our anger towards "Oprah" and our hopes to "Who Wants To Be A Millionare" or "Deal Or No Deal", instead of at the Government that SCREWED ITS PEOPLE!

Love it! A group of people that actually got a riot to get some results (even if it was just getting one of their own freed) I wonder when we americans will do the same and start storming not only the whitehouse, but the senate, and the federal reserve.

I was seriously impressed by a work of fiction called "V" (I think).

I wonder what would happen if 10,000 people marched on the Whitehouse (while cutting off the escape routes) with the purpose of placing Bush under arrest for crimes and warcrimes?

That would be Alan Moore's V for Vendetta. excellent flick, can't say the same for the graphic novel though. Because it paints V as a terrorist and not so much a freedom fighter. It actually is a very ambiguous novel. You really can't tell who is the bad guy.

On your other comment, I agree, I've been wondering myself what would happen if thousands upon thousands of P O'd americans stormed the white house, the senate and the federal reserve and hanged (YES! HANGED!) these bastards for their crimes. If you think that what I'm saying is too harsh, too radical, you should see what they have planned to depopulate the masses as is instructed in the GA guide stones. And believe me, they won't loose any sleep over it because they honest to god feel they are justified in doing so.

Go Iceland! Does Iceland have flouride in the drinking water?

I have a newly found and very profound respect for the people of Iceland.
I only wish Americans could muster up half of the courage these people have, our country would be a much better place to live in.

I was and still am a pissed American. I went to a rally with over 300 people where we marched the streets of Chicago and protested outside the Fed Reserve Bank. No riots. It felt great and I want to see/go to more. We need to get organized somehow. Like a craigslist but for local political protests.
