Ok, I'm thinking on my feet here, and out loud too. But I just want to say that the fact that Sarkozi is now afraid to introduce his new bling presidential jet is a sign that though they appear all powerful, they really are still afraid of mass action by the people. We need to remember that and be encouraged by that.
He should be reminded of the French Revolution....
If people want to find the men responsible and bring them to justice, they will and history has shown us that with people being dragged through the streets. Sarkozy is probably realizing that he could be "that guy" in the next revolution if it were to take place in his time.
If I were him, I'd be afraid to even show up in public with how much he's pissed people off over there. I don't think we're far behind here in this country either.

What would a ballot initiative look like that could protect the people from obscene greed?

We will remain primitive, because we as humans need leadership in unseen ways, pushing towards a brighter future, that we have to WORK FOR.
Corruption isnt needed, but the money they gather....well lets just say that it could be used to make a massive spaceship that could take us many many places.
This is how it works, the less freedoms we have are...well important not to have, so we do not exploit them (our natural tendancey) the species will split in two, one smart the other dumb, the dumb are gulible and will cause panic and choas, on a whims notice, so controlling them must be in effect.
The more intellgent see through this and are adapted into a new(er) socity. That is just the way of things. Merely accept it or die (we are over populated so a few million wouldnt hurt)

Right. Re the ballot - a vote of no confidence in the government - in all parties?
Yes, I was trying to imagine earlier about how to organise a referendum - on the same scale as an election, just without any government funding or involvement. A people's referendum!edit on 29-10-2010 by wcitizen because: (no reason given)

This kind of movement has to appeal to everyone in some way, all at once. So having a two-pronged approach, one that makes people feel vindicated that they are stopping the crimes being perpetrated by the banksters and corporations, and the other that promotes better health and vitality and a longer life span, will grab a lot of the masses. But would it be enough to get everyone? What else would need to be included to appeal to the remaining groups of people?
I was just reading a post about how Americans need another civil war. This got me to thinking about there being a better way. American's need to go on strike. Quit your jobs. The corporations and governement make money from us working. They depend on it. If we are slaves like some have said then just stop. Stop working, stop consuming. Just stop. Of course it won't work if just a handful participate. We have to beat them at their own game. In fact, lets ALL go on welfare. Let's take money from them. (Them being the gov't and corporate scabs that continue to work.) I think I have said this before with little response but I would like to put it in it's own thread so I can get more minds chipping away at it. Please help me tinker with this idea. How can we make it work? Or tell me how it is doomed to fail so I can get over this and move on to something else. ***Please put some thought into your posts. I really don't want people just posting how stupid I am and how this will never work without an explanation of why.*** Okay, I'm putting on my turtle shell now to protect myself from the hurtful words that I'm probably going to have to endure.... here goes.

I believe we should support the "only" real bank in this country and it is the bank of SD. I would whole heartedly close my account and open up an account w/that state owned and operated bank! I also support not paying the " To Big To Fail" banks another dime! It can and will work,but has to be done on a mass scale.This one or two day revolt is chump change to these psychopaths.There are manny fires burning,but the biggest one is the banks.If we can gain control of of the money again,and not allow the government to borrow; manny other fires will die on there own.My next agenda would be to fix the rigged voting system! I apologise and give credit to anyone who has proposed the same remmidy as the above,but I am not in the mood to read seven plus pages.I am eager for a way out of this mess,and as a peaceful way to do it.I know for a fact that these bankers will do ANYTHING to hang on to their power,so no matter what we as a people do,and what ever part of the world your butt is parked on;we are all knee deep in this crap! All I know,and think we can all agree on is it has to stop! They only have as much power as we allow,have you all had enough yet; is the question?
