It is dangerous to play in the streets...trust me. I suppose you will take to the streets? Is that what you are saying ??

lawdog: "the people will take to the streets" That is so O.J. I can't believe it. An excuse to loot and make a bunch of noise. If we can't get what we want then we will riot and burn. What BS. If you asked 12 people that were in "the streets" during the O.J. Simpson riots they could not have told you the names of the parties involved. I know this for a fact as I was "in the streets" in uniform and full riot gear. 90% of those "outraged" were so drunk or drugged they did not have a clue. Do you really think that some welfare collecting, headstart trained yokel looking for a new TV set is interested who won the election....give me a break!! Ken

A couple of my favorite history classes in graduate school had to do with the history of revolutions. One of the things I learned is that the dispossessed, the underdogs, the man in the street without shoes on his feet or a shirt on his back, is not who starts a revolution. Revolutions are started by people who, but for circumstances, would be the ruling class. That would be, here, Jesse Jackson, Louis Farrakan, the AFL-CIO, NOW, and the National Teachers Union. But they can't make a revolution happen without the man in the street. Think about it. You say you want a revolution? Who have you got? I have no doubt in my mind that Jesse Jackson, Louis Farrakan, the AFL-CIO, NOW, and the National Teachers Union are behind you all the way. You can march in the streets with Jesse Jackson, Louis Farrakan, the AFL-CIO, NOW, and the National Teachers Union until your feet are sore, but if you think that the American public are behind you, think again. Maybe the people who live in central cities are behind you. The rest of us are not. And if you think you outnumber us, count again.
