"We can count on the government and police to overreact. They always do 
and it always makes the change far more violent. The police will start 
shooting protestors with no reason. Protestors will go home, pick up 
some of the 194 million guns in the United States and come back and 
start shooting cops."/

Americans with an Attitude

It doesn’t take long to overthrow a government. Algeria took a couple of 
months, Egypt took only three weeks. As of now, the Occupy Wall Street 
event is in its fourth week. It took three weeks of total silence for 
the news media before they even began to pay attention.

The Revolution probably started on September 24th as Deputy Inspector 
Anthony Bologna <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5nws2ha8AuE> of the New 
York Police Department casually took out a pepper spray canister and 
blasts some young women already in the custody of the police. It was all 
caught on camera as he slithered away.

The mainstream media has yet to really come to grips with the protest. 
Neither Wall Street nor Washington DC has yet to come to terms with the 
protests that have now spread all over the country.

It’s true there is no coherent and single message coming from the 
protestors. All revolutions begin as an unorganized mob of people each 
with their own agenda. What neither Washington, nor Wall Street get is 
that Americans are finally waking up. Sure, lots of people were talking 
about the dangers of derivatives years ago and the stealing going on in 
Wall Street. But Americans had it pretty good and as long as the 
paychecks came in, everything was just fine.

Paychecks have stopped for 23.1% of Americans now unemployed; many will 
never again hold a well-paid job. Those jobs have been shipped overseas 
and today some 46 million Americans are on food stamps. You can take 
your pick as to what has caused this attitude adjustment on the part of 
Americans. An incredible 22.5% of mortgages are underwater. Do the 
owners of those houses really believe prices will recover or are they 
hanging on like a cat trying to climb a chalkboard?

Americans have an attitude. It’s going to get worse until we have a 
massive revolution in the way this country is run. Objectively speaking, 
it is a no win situation. The government has made promises they cannot 
possibly honor. Many jobs have been lost forever and Americans are going 
to go through a long and painful process of adjusting to living with 
less, in many cases, a lot less.

The 1% doesn’t get it and every time a Rove or Bloomberg or Cantor open 
their mouths, it becomes more obvious. Americans are pissed and they 
will continue to multiply on the streets until we have a change of 
government and attitude.

We can count on the government and police to overreact. They always do 
and it always makes the change far more violent. The police will start 
shooting protestors with no reason. Protestors will go home, pick up 
some of the 194 million guns in the United States and come back and 
start shooting cops.
