The protests, global in nature, have Marxist overtones. The goal is to collapse the system. Community organizers, who know exactly what they are doing, are using technology to the hilt. Hard-core ideologues, bent on revolution, are happy to attract the "I want a peaceful world" or "I just want healthcare" students, union members, or senior citizens. Numbers MATTER for daily media coverage which they ARE getting worldwide. NY reporters never question why protestors, screaming about "Wall St. greed," NEVER mention that it was those companies that gave enormous sums to Pres. Obama's election campaign against Sen.John McCain. Opposition is very selective. Protestors yell about student loans but do not target the universities (agents for change); and, companies whose products use are also safe from demonstrations. Although small businesses are the major source of jobs in the U.S., owners of small businesses in NYC are physically threatened if they do not let protesters use their restrooms for bathing, etc. Families in surrounding NYC neighborhoods have difficulty shopping; cannot use public parks; and are fed up with the blatant sex, drug use, and piles of garbage.These protests will continue through 2012, with a wink & a nod from the former community organizer in the White House.<br />Sheila A.

When faced with numbers in opposition within their constituency and awareness that we can actually monitor their voting record, then it is achievable as voting against a majority will be political suicide. I live in a borough with a population of 250,0000 Now, I am certain that a high percentage would not consent to the equality proposed. On that basis, MPs votes ought to reflect their constituent's hopes and desire for the kind society they wish to live in for the benefit of their children. And, all must think of the consequence to them if and when the proposed legislation becomes the legal moral standard. <br /><br />I am setting up a petition from my Parish and inviting other faith communities within our borough to do the same. We must form a collective force and remind our politicians that they are going too far. <br /><br />God bless.<br />SantiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
