We likely have not seen anything yet, if this man and his article ends up being correct.

Let us hope he ends up being wrong.
I lived in Los Angeles during the Rodney King riot which was kind of intense.
With all due respect, the protest didn't strike me as being overly peaceful. Both protesters and police were amped and polarizing. I dunno why you Americans are so addicted to hype...with all due respect again.
As said the old seventies slogan 'fighting for peace is like screwing for virginity"... yup. As for your article Sarge, well if McCain gets in, I'll have my own private riot in my own private living room and it won't be because I'm a spoilt brat!

I understand where you're coming from, BUT, if our forefathers would have protested by just sitting in a nice little circle and only taken care of things by using "the kings" crooked laws in a nice orderly fashion.... we wouldn't be here right now.

I think you may have missed a distinction. Raiha was talking about "Fighting for Peace" and she is right -- it's an oxymoron, err, at least a contradiction in terms. You are talking about fighting for liberty -- a different matter altogether, and without contradiction.
Peace and liberty go hand in hand. You can't have peace without liberty and you can't have liberty without peace.
Hmmm...
You can peace yourself right into slavery. During the original American Revolution, the ones who advocated peace over liberty were usually the loyalists. Peace and liberty do not always fall on the same side of the line.
