The 1% Solution: Fence Us Out

First, they fenced out the Mexicans and I didn’t speak up because I’m not Mexican,

Next, they fenced in and pepper-sprayed the Occupy Wall Street protesters and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t at OWS,

Then, they fenced out the Syrian Refugees and I didn’t speak up because I’m not a Refugee,

Then, they fenced in the Reporters and I didn’t speak up because I’m not a Reporter,

Then they fenced themselves in Gated Communities and I didn’t speak up because I don’t live near one,

Finally, they fenced out their own Progressive Base at the Democratic National Convention and there was no one left to speak up for me.

Someone should write a Sci-Fi novel, oh wait, we have Elysium. I didn’t read the book but in the movie the 1% have created a beautiful huge space station for themselves and left the rabble to suffer, fight among themselves, and die on the polluted, over crowded Earth below.

How about we decorate the DNC fence with flowers and signs of love and support for our fellow human beings?

Hope it is okay that I posted this at Kossacks for Sanders and here.

their takeover of the planet while they impoverish the many.

To support a candidate who represents this class is suicidal, in my view.

Orwell was an optimist

I believe the fence will be chain link so we would need signs to hang, etc.

with messages is a great idea! And I did not know that reporters were being fenced out, so this is news to me.

          There are a very large number of Science Fiction Novels with similar themes and variations.

Hey! my dear friends or soon-to-be's, JtC could use the donations to keep this site functioning for those of us who can still see the life preserver or flotsam in the water.

Army and National Guard vehicles are easily accessible (They don't have ignition keys), and go through fences with minimal damage to the vehicles. Even when secured, their locks are easily circumvented by a pair of bolt cutters.

I leave this information here as a public service for those who might not otherwise be informed, and suggest NOTHING by this simple statement of fact.

I do not pretend I know what I do not know.

because given current law enforcement modus, what you are not suggesting sounds like a probable way for someone to get shot, perhaps fatally.

I like many of your other suggestions and non-suggestions on this site.

Friends, take care of yourselves out there, please.
