This would create a mass democratic counter power to the dail. <br /><br />Such a mass, federated movement, expressing its democratic preferences in this manner, is something very hard for the elected dictatorship of a parliament to handle.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07049326872148670610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3063599363545760991.post-32251299341196282802012-01-06T16:59:50.036-08:002012-01-06T16:59:50.036-08:00Given that these repayments are continuing despite...Given that these repayments are continuing despite the opposition of many, I assume that all remaining bondholders will be repaid. <br /><br />So, when does it end - how many more years, how many more billions do we need to pay? I'd rather know that, so that the repayment news next month and next month is no longer a depressing surprise.<br /><br />When they are all paid, do we then finally see the end of this failed institution, Bank of Dukes of Hazzard of whatever its called this week.Mike Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15806486954823553848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3063599363545760991.post-56766672993505145462012-01-06T12:34:19.128-08:002012-01-06T12:34:19.128-08:00Exactly, we need mass strikes!

The question I keep coming up against is 'when are we the people going to shout stop?'<br /><br />The thing I can't pull together in my mind is a practical and effective strategy - a cohesive set of actions that can be taken collectively by the people to put a stop to the madness. The Occupy movement seems to be a start,and your Ballyhea march brought a smile to my face.<br /><br />I am curious what you would propose. I quite frankly haven't a clue where to even start.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
