  Omooex: as I said

  nothing is "specific" enough. You just proved it.

  All of the organizational "specifics" you wonder about already exist. How would "I" organize it? I don't have to; the structure and organization is already there. Look around you. It's hard to live in the People's Republic of Alameda County and not know that. Come on.

  The problem is not structure or organization, it rarely is. We don't have to reinvent the wheel here. We aren't starting at square one. The problem is that there is no "will" among a broad enough cross section of the public to make these tactics effective on a large scale. Prevention of that "will" from ever developing (again) was an important objective of the Reagan Revolution. What happened in the '60's scared the bejesus out of them, and they were determined that it NEVER happen in this country again.

  So far, so good.

  People take action all over the world, bring down rotten and repressive governments right and left, but not here. Ain't gonna happen; can't.

  Reaganites made sure of it.

  BUT, on the small scale, on the local scale -- even right there in the People's Republic -- resistance and change and all the rest of a Tiny Revolution can happen, is happening, and has been happening for a good long time.

  Lame?

  Compared to what? The completely ineffective effort to force the Dems in DC to stop being complicit with the Autocracy?

  All righty then....
