no war for oil

Why isn't anyone out in the streets protesting, like they did last time? Will they wait until the war has begun? Or is everyone just so sure that there's nothing they can do about it?

To me, I don't think there is anything we can do about it.

This situation has many agendas......some are not entirely clear, most I don't agree with and some seem like a personal ax to grind.

I don't like it.......... I think our nation is tired and scared. And I know in the area I live, many things are going unnoticed due to this damn sniper situation.........

Would there be many people who just can't believe that Bush et al would actually go ahead and do such a thing?

The article I linked to in my journal kind of addresses that question.

Oh, but there are anti-war protests. Especially in the San Francisco Bay Area and elsewhere in California. Looky here for starters: http://www.commondreams.org/headlines02/1014-02.htm

There was a big anti-war rally around here last week.

I think people are just hoping we stay out of it, in general.

[low-delta.livejournal.com]

I don't think so.

Okay, thanks. My next quesiton is why have I not been aware of this?

I only had time to skim it, but it seemed to say that relentless propaganda has worn us down?

I don't think there's any of that going on nhere. Milwaukee is such a small town.

Or at least creates it. >:-|

I dunno. Journalists focusing on the wrong stuff, maybe?

There was that protest down on Water Street..remember I told you about that girl's sign that said, "My bush is smarter"...

But no, no major gatherings. There is probably some in Madison.
