Is this an off-shoot of "Occupy Wal-Street"?  Same kind of people for same reasons?
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

If Microsoft Excel decided to stop working overnight, the world would practically end.

Seems like every city is in revolt these day.  Now Obama knows what 1880ies feel like in Vicky 2.

Will the Liberal revolters result in a Reactionary government in power?

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

Too bad real life rebels aren't like in EU2, or we'd pop up with the highest land tech in our group and with our sliders maxed to offensive.  Occupying Wall Street is easier with tanks and +1 shock.

I was supposed to tag along on Monday, but my train got stranded in Conn. since a drawbridge got stuck in the up position.   :wacko:

Unfortunately the revolters would be just as likely to march north into Canada as they would to march south to DC.

What's unfortunate about that?
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

The folks protesting here in Portland had a run-in with the Portland Marathoners, as the main protest site was right in the marathon's path. Pretty lulzy.
