Gee, I wonder why protesters would feel the need to resort to middle-fingering!!
Could it be that dissenters have no other option?
Lessee, we tried to vote and when loads of election irregularities popped up Republicans slammed and shut down any attempts to investigate them. This gives us the impression that our votes do no good.
When it looks like Republicans all over the place have lied/misled/broke the law/violated the public trust we turn to the press to go after these stories. Do they? Nope.
Checks and balances in the US are dead and gone.
Anyone who has a differing opinion from the Republicans is essentially screwed and has no other recourse but to go to protest rallies. Since they haven't worked some protesters turn to hand gestures and "colorful" language.
What other choice do we have? I ask you, kid, and anyone else interested in venturing a guess.
What else can we do to get our point across?
Vote?
Doesn't work.
Press?
Not representing us, ignores stories of actual law breaking.
Protest rallies?
Iraq still happened and is still happening.
What else can we do?
You know, when the minority is denied a voice, it's not called a democracy. It's called a dictatorship.
Oh yeah, and so when I go through the effort of registering for this kid's blog so I can post the above at his site? I login and get a comments error--
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: spell_insert_headers() in /home/teen/public_html/wp-content/themes/polteen/comments.php on line 33
Nice blog, kid--and I LOVE your huge banner ads.
Oh yeah, and bagging on Kerry? Keep doing that. Please.
Hey, he should blog about Dick Cheney saying "F--- off" to-- oh wait.
