Frech Folks Hit the Streets

To protest the proposed economic bailout package in France, the French folks hit the streets. Seems that they are mighty pissed off that the economic package doesn't help the workers as much as the wealthy. Sound familiar? It should. That is what most if not all of the proposed economic stimulus packages are, welfare for the wealthy. Kinda like co-King Bush's billions to billionaires banker giveaway of our tax dollars. And you didn't see anything like this in the streets of the U.S. Culturally, I would have to say that it seems that the folks of the U.S. are incapable of, say, hitting the streets and striking terror into the governmental folks who claim to represent them while giving their tax dollars to already wealthy millionaire and billionaire types. People here in the U.S. generally seem to think: "Oh look, my anus just got stretched another inch in diameter. Huh! Whaddyaknow? Well, it's a good thing I live in the land of freedom with liberty and justice for all."

Could you imagine if the folks hit the streets like this in the states? Yeah, there is the slight potential that folks could be hurt or killed, BUT FOLKS ARE ALREADY BEING HURT AND KILLED AND BY GUM! LET'S MAKE IT FUCKING STOP! And you know that it would be folks like you and me killing folks like you and me to protect the empire. Thus, those folks can have their hearts changed. They are not the elite, and the elite will never do their own killing, not like in the good old days when kings would ride along with their forces to fight battles. The chickenshit like hunker in a bunker that is protected from nuclear attacks, even. Not so brave folks, the elite who never pull the trigger but ask others to do their killing for them. Mostly, they are unarmed, too, because they don't do their own dirty work.

Things to think about.
