I did answer the question. You could have a close election (and I remember david duke getting a lot of votes), and if u dont come out, the worse candidate wins.
If they had voted against him, maybe they wouldn't have a KKK leader kickin their behind. That's the thing.

I'm not totally under its whim. They don't make me go places, see people, love people, do things, believe things, make sure I only have so many children, write things they want me to write...etc.
Most of their activity, Koala, not all.

Not a one. But some of them have better systems.
You'd just have to get through immigration.

Revolution is a much harder concept than it was years ago.
Multinational corporations have their finger in every government they're in (and often they're in the US). I'm a pessimist, and don't see how revolution would work unless you had a nuclear weapon pointed to Capitol Hill (which means you'd radiate the people of Chocolate City). Revolution still could work.

I'm not waiting for a revolution.
It's been what...35 years since the BPP started...70 (or is it 80?) years since Garvey...haven't seen anything appear on the horizon with that type of mobilization.
