Short and Simple

So are you Americans going to sit there and submit reddit article after reddit article, or are you going to do something and rebel, revolt?

I mean from pretty much everything that is posted, it seems like a lot of people are very unhappy with the way things are run, and if you see reddit as your sole news source (a bad idea), you may as well presume that the US is becoming a police state and the only hope is to run (hell even over here they want ISPs to censor things).

So Bush acts above the law, Cheney needs impeaching, your civil rights are crushed every day, your health service (or insurance) is unfair.

But what are you going to do? Is it just reddit that is infested with the disgust you guys show with things like this? Do a lot of people over there realise the problems we are dealing with?

Are you going to make submission after submission posting to the same angry blogs and videos?

Are you going to upmod submissions in the slight hope that it changes something?

Are you going to post comment after comment in the hope that somebody listens?

Are you going to do something? If the country is really going to slip into some police state, what is going to happen? You are in a way a testing ground - you're at the forefront of all the things the government is putting onto you, the rest of the world waits on the status of what is happening to you and whether it will happen to us. So what's it going to be, America? Are you going to just cry out to http servers hoping they will somehow change something?

Or is there even the slightest hope of change?

Bush only has a little over one more year. What more can he do? Everything will be just fine. You're blowing this way out of proportion. He's just the President, and his administration will be gone too! No worries! God bless America! *drinks Starbuckxxx*

yes, there is hope of change. In a democratic society where people can moan about the status quo, thigs aint too bad. But if we look at somewhere like North Korea, just because they don't have reddit doesn't mean everything's all peachy.
And to be honest, AS IF the next president will be republican.
