Indeed Carl !

It's easy to demonstrate against a foreign government thousands of miles 
away,

Those who are REALLY serious will organize and get into the streets against 
OUR government's ; war crimes, blockading single payer health-care, 
continuing the Bush policies overall ( I thought we had an election, but the 
same people are still running the show ), and the list goes on !
