Please don't advocate violence .... ever.
Let's say you and a bunch of other angry gun-toting revolutionaries DO go out and attack some news outlet ( hypothetical suggestion: CNN headquarters in Atlanta ) and thanks to brilliant planning and execution you manage to wipe out every scumbag "personality" and all the executives and upper management. GREAT!!!
What would happen next?
Total police-state crack-down.
Martial law.
Suspension of any remaining Constitutional rights.
"Game" over. You lose. Everyone loses.
You cannot resort to violence. This HAS to be a peaceful revolution or it WILL fail.
Violence is the easy way out - non-violence requires brilliant strategy, "thinking outside the box", persistence, dedication, faith, will, heart....
We have all those things and we CAN win!
Curious, wouldn't next Sunday be a great opportunity?
Thankyou.
I don't think the average american has any idea what it's like to live in the UK these days.
Petrol is about $11 a gallon
Over 50% of our income is robbed by the state
A small 2 bedroom flat where I live will cost you $400,000
There are armies of government snoopers who will spy on your property and your car
We are the most surveillanced people in the world apart from China.
The government keep electronic records of everything.....and lose them in the post once in a while so that criminal gangs have access to peoples' social security information, dates of birth etc etc
About half the working people in the UK are public service workers
The polarization of wealth has never been greater
We have had a bank failure, Northern Rock. The director is still in his job. He should be in jail.
Our politicians are totally corrupt and the media is owned.
The education system is in ruins and designed specifically to FAIL to EDUCATE people. IT IS DELIBERATE AND ENGINEERED TO TURN OUT ROBOTS who will spend their lives watching 200 channels of crap on TV, drink themselves into oblivion every night and keep on spending money on their credit cards like good obedient slaves. The British people are living in a cage and 99% of them don't even realize it.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't allow things in the USA to get as bad as they are here.
"All authority is derived by violence" - Robert A. Hienlein
It took him 30 novels to create that one sentence. But it is true.
Not to allow me to talk about such things on an academic level violates my right to free speech.

You've raised a very interesting point here and that is the absense of local radio.
Radio bandwidth has always been very tightly regulated in the UK. It's much harder to set up a little local radio station. All stations are licenced and if you broadcast anything wide of the mark, they'll just cut you off. Game over there!
The internet has been staring the British people in the face for a decade but nobody has utilised it to get across an alternative political message successfully. So for example, we have UKIP, the United Kingdon Independance Party, who are trying desperately hard to reverse our entry into the United Socialist State of Europe. They are totally marginalized by the media, an occassional radio interview or a brief appearance on TV but not nearly enough exposure to get their message across. They could have used the internet much better, rather like the Ron Paul movement has but they have failed really. Mind you, it's pretty tough when you are up against a system designed to keep people dumb, drunk, entertained by shite on TV ad spending spending spending.
I had dinner with some friends last night. I haven't seen them for a year so I was keen to know how their son had been getting on at school.
He's failed all his exams
Not one pass
I have watched this kid grow up for 10 years. He is a bright kid, not stupid at all, he had great potential
The education system here is DESIGNED to make these kids fail.
That is the truth.........
Terrible isn't it? A tragedy, a criminal tragedy and such a waste.
Don't let America end up like the UK
Another thing.............
The British are incredibly arrogant people. They really still think we are top dog, culturally superior and just better than anyone else. A lot of people in the UK think all Americans are ignorant, McDonald munching, gun wielding psychopaths.
I've visited America a few times now, I lived around Philly for 3 months once and I am always pleasantly surprised how cultured, well educated and polite alot of people are over there.
Am am quite certain, there are enough of these people left in America to turn this situation around.
I have absolute confidence in the American people to save their country
Go for it people!
The paper is claiming it is an honest mistake. No surprise there.
They will run it tomorrow on Page A2. Tommorrow is not Sunday.
I am going to sleep on the matter.
But, my initial reaction is that one day is not going to satisfy me. I think I am going to continue with my original plan. Tomorrow I will be getting a lawyer involved.
We do not know if it was intentional or not, although my gut tells me it was.
I would really like to know what the deal is so I think I will keep pushing.
Good night. LWL
Oh lord, this is a private dispute between llepard and the Union Leader. Please don't involve yourself directly or make threats on his or the grassroots behalf. That is totally counterproductive.
WTF is up with new people on this forum and running around making threats on behalf of the grassroots? That's totally irresponsible.

llepard is trying to handle a difficult situation. Jumping in as a 3rd party with accusations (you have no proof of), and making threats against advertisers is irresponsible, period.Don't mistaken grassroots as centralized organization, me3.
This is Genius!
Tell the Union Leader's competition! This move by them is all about McCain and their endorsement of him. You could see it in the YouTube debate, McCain's scared to death of Ron Paul!
Btw, I have been online since 1995 and run several dozen websites. I'm curious how you rescinded an email. There are several to past girlfriends I would like to get back.
