Lets Start a Protest

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!! Since when did Abbie Hoffman become Jesus Christ? Do you even know anything about him? I've read both "Steal this Book" and "The Life and Times of Abbie Hoffman" (his biography). He WAS manic depressive--he killed himself in 1989 because of it. And he did support the ownership and use of guns "if necessary".

HAHAHAHA!!! And voting third party (which stand no chance at this point) is making things better? Hell, at least I'm voting for someone who has a chance at defeating bush. Every vote for Nader (or green party) is a vote for bush in disguise.

 

and give peace a chance...

 

How is voting for a third party a vote for bush?...They tried to pull this one in Canada by saying that a vote for green, NDP is a vote for Martin cause its a vote not going to the Conservatives...whats the point of voting unless your going to vote for what you beleive in? And i can see hateing america and wanting to change it as being possible...Not beleivin gin what "America" stands for and wanting to do somejhiontig about that image and ideal...But it all depends on how you want to change it......Look at france and russia, both violent revolution and look where it got them (this last bit was from Lennon by the way). You need to inform people and be informed your self if you want to do any good

 

there is voting in canada? sorry i just never/don't know even though i used to live just near lake ontario.

 

Do you really think that the people who vote for Nader would have voted for Bush if Nader didn't exist? No, they would have voted for Kerry but instead chose to waste their vote. Yes, ideally one should vote for the candidate you most believe in--but this is a VERY IMPORTANT election. There is NO TIME for "Oh, well, I don't agree with Kerry on a few things so...." This is the kind of election that DEMANDS realism. Votes for Nader are insignificant on the national level. If you REALLY want to get Bush out of office, you are going to have to suck it up and go for the lesser of two evils. In order to invoke change, you have to be realistic about the situation.

 

WHAT???

 

is there a democracy in canada? once again i am not trying to be stupid...i honestly do not know. i don't study canadian history or anything.

 

There is a democracy in Canada. I think Abbie Hoffman is great person, I think that he fought for peace through those methods becuase in his mind they were the only methods. If black people didnt have people like Heuy Newton, Eldridge Cleaver, Bobby Seale fighting for there causes (they didnt fight peacfully) where would they stand in our society today. Hoffman was trying to overthrow a system for a change. Without people like him fighting for us who is going to. I am totally for peace and love but Abbie Hoffman is hero in my mind.


Peace

 

groovy. thanks for the info. now anyone going to the protest in dc this weekend?

 

This post was ment to unite us, it was ment to bring us together. NOT jump down each others throats.

Strawberry Fields if you really want to get to know Abbie Hoffman read "Soon to Be a Major Motion picture" he actually wrote this, and maybe you should take into consideration that Abbie was driven to his depression by the Government!!!!

And no where in midnight Moonlight messages does he ever say he votes a third part, and what make voting a third party a bad thing?, what make voting for a Democrat a good thing? Because he has a chance of winning, our so called "Democracy" is based on the precident that everyone has a chance of becoming president, but corporation and greed has corrupted the nation and people who critize another persons judgement just adds to that negativity.

 

This is well said, sister. I agree with you. THere are a lot of posts on here meant for light debate and conversation in a peaceful way and yet there are those who go marching in with negative energy wanting to stir up trouble. That is not diggable.

 

Bush sucks! He does not understand what he is doing and needs to be stopped!

 

I dig what you are sayin brother
