You know what worries me about all of these "The Rich Are To Blame" articles I'm seeing?

I'm afraid that when the shit hits the fan, we're not going to have the BALLS to do what needs to be done.

I feel as though Americans have become weak. There will be no Egypt here in America. There will be no Syria. When the police are sent out in their riot gear to protect the wealthy enclaves, I fear we as Americans will bow our heads and go back to our hovels.

It happened before. At Kent, remember?

Up until that point, the Peace Movement was getting bolder and stronger. Then the government slaughtered a few kids, and everyone got scared back into line. All the angry hippies became Mr. & Mrs. Fluffykins McNiceypeace.

When it comes time to tear down the system, I'm afraid we won't have what it takes.

When your leaders have the full maturity of adults, and are not afraid to name a thing what it is, then your endeavor is likely to have some success. When it's a crowd of angry college kids who are otherwise reasonably privileged, killing a few scares 'em instead of incites 'em.
