six horse, you're right, a national strike would have a dramatic effect, but let's face it: fear and desperate rage rarely morph into smart, socially conscious protest, and almost never is properly directed.
mostly shit gets burnt the fuck up, and when people are crazed and have nowhere to turn, they often feast upon each other like Common Orcs. but if shit's got to burn, then by god, why not grab those Villager Brand(tm) Torches and head to the slumlord's/good ol' boy politician's part of town?
ahh, of course, brutality never solves any problem like this, as "The Man" always has bigger clubs and more bootheels than you do, Citizen, and is more than prepared to defend their position. I'd love to see the nationwide sit in, but folks have jobs to save from destruction and homes to hang onto if they can afford their soaring mortgages and children to keep out of harm's way and cellphones to answer and television to watch, etc. etc.
I myself prefer to protest by sitting very still in a dark room with a cold beer and a pistol, waiting for the tide of ugly to come down my street; as I understand it, the apocalypse is right around the corner, always...
