And spreading to Ohio: Ohio public employees protest proposed union curbs

No, because it is a democracy already. Private persons can, and do, take the government to court if they have a problem and win the case.

umm i dont think so here not many protests

Dwight · Feb 22, 2011

I hope so, freaking corporate America needs to change

Totally agreed!

Absolutely, even in the great US of A. I think the reason why it's not happening right now is because the people are supported with social security, foodstamps, etc and (american idol). If (when?) the country goes broke and can't make the payments, all bets are off. And no, America is not a democracy.

I would hope so here for the UK too. But aslong its not replaced with a regeime thats not any better.

If in saying America is not a democracy you were referring to what I wrote, I was talking about Australia. I have won two cases against the Australian Government myself (which were about social phobia). The hallmark of a democracy is that the government can not just do whatever it wants.

exactly what the protests are about in Wisconsin right now

maybe quiet ones, i dont think people here are afraid just not into outward drama

Dronee · Feb 22, 2011

I can imagine many things, but I can't see that happening here in the next century or two, if ever. Democracy? Hah! Right...

WeirdyMcGee · Feb 22, 2011

I think it's possible... but pretty much anything is possible, right? XD
Here in Canada, I can't see any major revolution happening~ we're all polite little drones for the most part!

I do wish there was a world wide revolution going on to actually do something about the fact that we're destroying our planet, though.

Remus · Feb 23, 2011

We've had quite a number of revolutions/civil wars, I think everything is settled for the moment

Social_Monstrosity · Feb 24, 2011

It's possible but not probable at the moment.

Americans, as a whole, are too complacent with their lives.

Ask the bankers, they pull the strings!

As for America changing, boy oh boy are you guys going to get it! Best be careful what you wish for.
