16. maybe planned protests on a convenient schedule are not the most effective anyway?

we really need to get over this aversion to jamming up the works. counter action needs to happen the day they perform the offensive acts. if they want protests only during bankers hours, then fine, lets tie up the capitol grounds every day all day during bankers hours. we're 2 weeks into an illegal war...nothing. and nothing there will be until the next scheduled event...in two more weeks. and after that, more nothing until the next scheduled event.

we could have this war shut down in the first week of a general strike. i completely understand that many of us, myself included, can't afford to go without a paycheck, but the cost of inaction is much greater.

sigh. i guess i have 2 weeks to come up with a witty sign.
