Jorj, For all of your verbosity, it sounds like you are saying that two wrongs do not make a right. Is that what you are saying? Are you condemning Alinsky tactics? You seemed to be bragging about all of the Alinsky trained community organizers that outnumber the tea partiers. The organizers clearly understand how power relationships work and will use the masses of people to resolve the issue and take power from the power brokers. When the issues provoke the emotional passions within individuals they will react emotionally against those in power and overrun the system whether it is a corporation, city, etc. The "means justify the end" but still staying with the laws. Our society is based on law abiding individuals to exist, but masses of people can disrupt the system regardless of the side of an issue that they are on. What tactics do you think we should use against a large group of people intent on destroying everything that this country stands for? The question: who decides the terms and conditions which defines, "destroying everything this country stands for?" Do the unemployed, homeless, retirees receiving only a Social Security check, individuals without the adequate skill sets for a job, or those who are making a net of over $250,000 or $500,000 define the terms and conditions. One side will have the masses of people who can be organized into action based on the emotional issues impacting them. While the other side has the financial resources to move their cause. The only solution I can see to resolve potential conflict is for the parties to get together for the good of the whole and in a problem solving way and use conflict resolution skills come up with solutions which benefit both parties. Otherwise, you will pit those with money power against those with the power of the numbers. I do not know whether the problem solving approach is possible in todays atmosphere.
