So, at what point would you participate in a public raid?

They walked away with your money and laughed. Literally.

I'm wondering, are we complacent, or do we just need some motivation by a good leader. I for one need just a small group to stand up before I do. And just literally raid the AIG offices.

Also, hunting down the execs that took the money and left. We have their names. The government won't do anything about it, so I think the people should take over.


I know this sounds insane, but the rage is incredible across the country. I'm just waiting for something to give.

"God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all, and always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented, in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions, it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty. ... What country before ever existed a century and half without a rebellion? And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure."

* Thomas Jefferson, Letter to William Stevens Smith (November 13, 1787), quoted in Padover's Jefferson On Democracy

Ive read that because of numerous threats, AIG has hired various sercurity groups to enhance their normal cadre. I dont blame them considering the outrage right now.

AND just today I was propositioned by a Wells Fargo pitchman for AIG who wanted to give me a $25 gas gift card in exchange for supplemental health insurance. He kept trying to say, "you can always just keep the card and just cancel in 60 days!!!" I politely declined. The phone was slammed in my ear. :(

Oh for fuck's sake. Go rampage against the feds, congress, etc. They are the ones that took your money and gave it to AIG in the first place. If they had simply let AIG go bankrupt, the contracts that AIG were lawfully required to uphold would have been null and void.

But no...let's ignore the corrupt and incompetent politicians fucking everything up. Let's just RAWR!!! POPULOUS OUTRAGE!!! some more.

The government gave them money, but these corporations need to take some fucking responsibility in the first place. They bitch about regulation, and as soon as they get their way with more lax regulations, they go out like pigs at the trough.

I'll take charge of the RAID. Let us all pitch in $5 so I can buy us some supplies to take them down.

*Calls midwest airlines, "Hey, when is the soonest flight out of america?"*

Ok, so where is the $5 people? We all have to contribute.

No way dude, AIG is weaker. Sure it was easy to raid the government back in the day. Kinda...

But now, you have to make sure you have the military behind you. Or else they will kill you with their boom sticks.

We need healers. Lot of healers. If we do enough DPS we should be ok as long as the healers can keep up.

Do we have enough mana potions though?
