There will be no riots, no protests and no revolts. Americans will eat the shit that is fed to them over and over and over again and pay for mistakes they had nothing to do with. It's for the best I guess. If they don't have the balls to stand up then they deserve to sit at the table and eat shit.
Thailand just had months of protests in attempt to get rid of their prime minister. In addition to 10s of 1000s of people protesting, they shut down the airports, bus stations, rail ways and were about to start shutting off the electric and water. THE PEOPLE HAVE THE POWER and can show that power in a non-violent way should they be inclined to do so.

9 times out of 10 I agree with you. But on this one, I have to disagree somewhat.
In Thailand the people have the power?? Really? Whats the unemployment like. Whats the standard of living like? Whats the Real Health care situation etc.. they are not as Powerful as some might think.
I am not saying the US has it figured out. They Don't. But the people can do things to make change without every leaving their home. It just comes down to do they want to make the change.
A good number of the people in the US that have lost jobs and homes are in the situation because they put themselves there. They had a job, They produced a fraction of what they should have and now they don't have one.
They had a home. They bought something they could not afford. They lost it, ( Think of the School bus driver that bought the 700k home ) because they lost the job.
I see every day the news talking about how bad things are how the unemployment rate is going up yet I also know that a lot of the numbers are skewed. The Media is making a frenzy out of very little. Funny thing is a lot of vacation destinations are getting record numbers of visitors and have been for more than a year. People don't go on vacation if things are tight like the media is saying.
Why does the market rise when everything else is crashing? Its manipulated and always has been.
The Euro is still at 1$ to 1.44 Euro. why when the news over there is that the euro is in trouble because of Greece, Spain, Italy and other countries.
Its all manipulated.
I do believe that some time soon there will be another war. its going to be a class war and it will end as fast as it started. But its going to be nasty. Where it starts is the big question.
The people in the US have the power. They do not have to take to the streets, they don't have to throw rocks they don't have to destroy buildings to fix things. But they do need to open their eyes to some things. They need to make changes and those changes should be getting rid of EVERY current politician and starting over.
