Then again, if we default and services cease- it will probably take not being able to buy beer or cigerettes to get people to demand action- just like in Minnisota right now. Can you believe this? Social services that are to protect kids, police protection and fire services, etc. don't matter as much as these 2things do?

Sometimes I just want to scream!!!

Yes. I was talking to someone here recently about the reasons behind the lack of activism--or even acknowledgment--that is evident in the people suffering the most from this recession. It took a depression last time before people rebelled. I've been looking for the seeds of uprising on the net but there's not a lot of cohesiveness yet. I want to jump on something when I can find a group that seems capable of organizing something with impact.
