The average American doesn't have the independent ability to reason themselves into revolt, they just do what they're told or manipulated into believing.

Revolutions are most often started or pushed along by the academics, and intelligent oppressed people.

ohhhh how wrong you are......
When the real economic hurt really starts, they'll go apeshit. watch the interest rates!!!!!!!

To switch to the Middle East :
What worries me the most, is that when militant fundamental idiots take government control of Egypt and Tunisia, a war will break out in the middle east where Israel will be the scapegoat and target. 2012 being a self-fulfilling prophecy also in the ME, i would not be surprised if something more drastic than usual would happen in the ME. It could get rather ugly and very seriously ,very fast.

It could also be the savior of the western economies!
Would certainly push down oil prices if ipec was broken up, and those fragile nation had to "swap" oil for food and medicines!
I would rather be an ordinary American, then a Dubai investor now!
Pommy bankers are lowlifes!

In the US we don't have to pick up guns like some children fantasize. We get to VOTE and have a voice in our government. Things may get out of hand with demonstrations if something bad happens but the people have clearly shown here in the US we would rather run to totalitarianism than to anarchy....



Dont let me get in the way of your fantasies....



Dont get me wrong the debt is a big problem...

Like your last 2 presidents! Totalitarian puppets of wall street!
