I'm calling BS on this generalization. Just like you do when people say the Tea Party consists of bigoted, racist angry white males....

Pay a little attention to the news and videos of the demonstrations and it is apparent. They themselves have said they want jobs, have been protesting for days ( where are the communal showers?) and their point is??????
The jobs are provided by the same corporations who's stocks are bought and sold on Wall Street.
They want a Utopia that is impossible to achieve. Trillions of dollars from where?? From the Rich?
Anne Coulter is a raving witch, for whom if you are not clearly very white, very Christian and rather well off, you're all a bunch of degenerates going to hell. So basically, all of us.
Jobs from where? The same companies that took away the jobs so their profit margins could EXCEED prior years - that's where from. Most of the companies who cut jobs two years ago are making record profits - the rich getting richer, and screw everyone else.
Corporate and individual greed caused this problem.
When almost 200 people applied for the same job I now have, and only got because of my vast experience, and it's only a part time gig, then that's an indicator that there's a problem in this country. In this state. In our closest city. 200 applicants for a part time job? damn.

Are there enough 1960/70's VW vans still in operation to get the population of Nederland all the way over to 285? Maybe if Phish decided to hold a concert someplace along 285 there might be a chance... Or someone "who knows" could "leak" the location of an illegal grow operation, it is (a bit past) harvest time and a little misinformation might make for some fun video opportunities.
I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.

But I was hoping to see them rained and snowed on this weekend so they wouldn't reek as bad, might even clean themselves up. (Or will they just smell like a wet dog?)
