Theres hould have been a don't know option. It depends, leaders may have very good reasons to calm down students and the like.

I would like to think they have a conscious and are participating to send a message. Unfortunately the volume is likely to need to be turned up to get through to the entrenched powers on all sides. All these military powers are there to insure the wealthy get to hold onto their comfortable status quo. I wish I had a better plan, and I am certain there are better ways to go about this than death and destruction. Some our leaders are either stupid or bought off. I think a good start would be to make every legislator's financial decisions public. Take the money out of the equation and term limits. The system we have now may be the best we can do, gulp!
