It's time we stopped paying attention to the media and politicians now and started talking to each other. We could change the world tomorrow, no trouble whatsoever, just by refusing to acknowledge the authority of the bastards in charge. That's what's so pathetic about the ongoing, staged protests in the States. Firstly, these fools don't even know they are being used. Secondly, they are protesting against something they have already endorsed. It's ridiculous. You'd think on college campuses of all places students would be able to get together and have a meaningful debate, minus the pox of the media and the political harpies. But apparently no.
