Who said we were protesting the run? Reading comprehension really isnt your strong point is it?Quote:

I understand your position better now Warriorbird. If you only live an hour away from Richmond that means youre more than likely in the employ of government in one fashion or another.
The parasites in Washington love Obama because theyre all getting fat off of his largess. Except its ordinary citizens who end up paying for all of that. Probably even our children and grandchildren.
How much money did it take to get you to sell the rest of us out? Just curious.
Half of my income comes from work with the family wine business/festival. The other half comes from the state government, not the federal. I don't teach for the money but because I want to help the state. I've volunteered for a number of campaigns. I tend to find most protest pointless. A good friend of mine got beat up by anarchists during the Seattle WTO protests and spent a fair bit of time in the hospital.Quote:

To borrow a phrase from Ravenwood, here's your answer in a coconut shell.Quote:

Although they have been facing years of underemployment and wage stagnation, mainstream American discourse rarely discuss class issues. So when America's white men feel they've lived their lives the "right" way-worked hard-and still do not get the rewards to which they believe they are entitled, then they have to blame somebody else. Anybody else.
Completely agree.Quote:

Except they don't stop being citizens until the day they themselves renounce it. They lose a few rights, sure, but they are still US Citizens. Some of them do their time and get out of jail, and after that what country do you think their passport is from?Quote:
