Too many people on the planet that are complacent with the feeling that you can't fight city hall will prevent the revolution that is needed. The government is too big to fight now. bansaisequoia June 21, 2009, 1:23 am

But is it sinking? bansaisequoia March 26, 2010, 10:46 pm
Half of us are doing the bailing, but the other half seem to want to scuttle it.
