The resistance you're talking about only works if like 3% of the population take to the streets. Once you see police officers marching with protesters that's when they'll start to listen. That's only ever happened once. It'll only happen again if a large number of american kids (tens or hundreds of thousands) are dying in foreign lands for years on end--i.e. not soon. That's why our leaders wage low intensity wars.

The oil crisis we're talking about here is knocking on our door right now. No amount of protesting is going to stop it.

When things get bad enough you'll see resistance. We're not there yet.

It all starts somewhere. Unless we, the people, actually rise and use our power to stop them, warrior narcissists will be lighting fires in perpetuity.

True, not until Americans start feeling the pinch for all the wars they have allowed to happen, in their name.

No time like the present. Demand justice for your war crimes, Americans.
