[quote:Anonymous Coward 19199109:MV8yMDAwMTgyXzMzNjAyNjkzXzk3MUFDNDQx] [quote:Free-Us-Now:MV8yMDAwMTgyXzMzNjAwNzU1Xzc5MDc4Q0M0] [b]Some times I feel that way too, I grew up in the 60's and saw what use to be the News every night and the vietnam war protests were on the TV daily and that Generation Did NOT GIVE UP ! They were Relentless and did Not take NO for an Answer. Somehow that Mindset is Gone in this Country and If that was Alive and Well Today I'm Sure this WAR CRAP would not be what it is Today, a lot of People have given up But not all and it seems to be Growing again but slowly. Like I said, I Some times I feel that way too But I'm Not Giving up.

Warning.- This isn't an uplifting post. This is reality as I now see it. It has become more clear to me that they have won and we have lost the war without even fighting the battle. We are all talk and no action. We sit around and bitch about our rights being taken away. We fight and argue over race, religion and politics. We really are brainwahed sheep being controlled in almost every aspect of our lives. It's just going to get worse. I've known for a while now and am reminded daily about how corrupt this world is.
After watching the streaming video of the protest in Spain it really set in with how screwed we are. I watched as hundreds of protesters were ran off by a handful of police. I'm not for violence but I am for standing your ground and standing up for what you believe in. I just can 't figure out how we got here. I don't know what it will take to get things going in a better direction. I don't have the answer. It just saddens me to the core to see where we are and where things are going.
Sorry for the rant and I 'm not trying to offend anyone in Spain.
