Don't you know
They're talkin' bout a revolution
It sounds like a whisper
Don't you know
They're talkin' about a revolution
It sounds like a whisper

While they're standing in the welfare lines
Crying at the doorsteps of those armies of salvation
Wasting time in the unemployment lines
Sitting around waiting for a promotion

Poor people gonna rise up
And get their share
Poor people gonna rise up
And take what's theirs

Don't you know
You better run, run, run...
Oh I said you better
Run, run, run...

Finally the tables are starting to turn
Talkin' bout a revolution
Don't you know
They're talkin' bout a revolution
It sounds like a whisper
Don't you know
They're talkin' about a revolution
It sounds like a whisper

While they're standing in the welfare lines
Crying at the doorsteps of those armies of salvation
Wasting time in the unemployment lines
Sitting around waiting for a promotion

Poor people gonna rise up
And get their share
Poor people gonna rise up
And take what's theirs

Don't you know
You better run, run, run...
Oh I said you better
Run, run, run...

Finally the tables are starting to turn
Talkin' bout a revolution
Don't you know
They're talkin' bout a revolution
It sounds like a whisper
Don't you know
They're talkin' about a revolution
It sounds like a whisper

While they're standing in the welfare lines
Crying at the doorsteps of those armies of salvation
Wasting time in the unemployment lines
Sitting around waiting for a promotion

Poor people gonna rise up
And get their share
Poor people gonna rise up
And take what's theirs

Don't you know
You better run, run, run...
Oh I said you better
Run, run, run...

Finally the tables are starting to turn
Talkin' bout a revolution flowerforyou

I don't think that people are oblivious to the problems here, I just think no one really knows what to do about them. And, most people here are apathetic, if it's not directly affecting them, they really don't care. What they don't understand is that it IS affecting them, maybe not in obvious ways yet, but it will. By then, though, it may be too late.

What people don't understand, politics is a game and a profession. These people know exactly how to push people's buttons to keep them in fear and ignorance. Their job is to get into office, that's pretty much it. And the people who need to be in office, those that are decent, honorable and honest, cannot compete against the political machines. It's sad.

susan you sound like you might agree with this post in

govt good bad in current events

---------------

he govt is a necessary evil

the problem is

that like in every republic there has ever been

the people of the united states have

become to comfortable and trusting in the govt

thus have quit living up to their responsibility

of being a citizen of a republic

if the people of a republic do not control the govt

the govt will i said WILL control the people

the united states is real close to this stage

but as long as people stay out of the voting booths

and their local govt meetings it is going to happen

and b4 you say i do not like anyone running so i do not vote

that is why they have a write in box

if everyone that did not vote wrote in a name

even if they are are different it would send a message

that WE THE PEOPLE want our country back

but it takes more than the handful of members here that are

really trying to enlighten the PEOPLE most of whom just say

we are paranoid but it is said those that

do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it

so the choice is YOURS which one will YOU make

Essentially, yes, it can work that way. There were many people up in arms, but not enough. Again, the politicians preyed upon people's fears to keep them quiet.

No because its unconstitutional....it say that if the governing power becomes too powerful it is the citizen duty to overthrow said government and replace it.

As for my views on this Godforsaken war..it'll have to wait for another time my dear friends, becase i know Big Bro is watchin already...hell they never stop..
