1. Never underestimate your opponent
2. Take it outside
3. Be nice until it's time to not be nice
Note to those striving for enduring social change: It's time to not be nice.
Being nice got us a nation that pats itself on the back for its freedom and democracy while relegating most of its citizenry to a life of debt, a life without sufficient health insurance, a life of wiretapping and color-coded terror warnings, a life of undrinkable water, polluted air, and inedible food (sic), etc.
Being nice means the US constitutes less than 5% of the world’s human population but is home to 25% of the world’s prison population. Being nice means US women are paid 77 cents for every dollar a man makes. Being nice got us believing that coal is clean, nukes are green, and we must vote for Barack ‘cause the Republicans are mean.
Yeah, being nice resulted in the Legend of Barack Obama™—the most remarkable example of programming and conditioning since the yellow ribbon sticker—while those who refused to guzzle the Obama Kool Aid™ are shoved off to the far corners of Left World.
But, rest assured, as Swayze promises: “Nobody puts Baby in the corner.”

Be nice until its time to not be nice
That was a great line. The Corporatzi's did not like me when I was nice, they don't want me now, they are going to just love me when I am not nice. Yippee-kiyea mf's. Allow me the honor of being in the frontline. I will not disappoint. by kato krause (2 articles, 0 quicklinks, 3 diaries, 216 comments [1 recommended, 0 rejected]) on Monday, Nov 10, 2008 at 4:38:21 PM  (0+)

glad to see you didn't drink the O-koolaid
We need an enduring movement that does not yield every four years to the Democratic Party... if we ever expect enduring change that BENEFITS the masses instead of penalizing them with Wall Street debts, resource wars that benefit the few, and unending destruction of our environment. by Rady Ananda (182 articles, 374 quicklinks, 49 diaries, 1718 comments [201 recommended, 2 rejected]) on Monday, Nov 10, 2008 at 5:38:20 PM (0+)

What about Brad Wesley?
Brad was certainly a symbol for today's Wall Street! "He keeps takin' and takin' until someone takes him," said Swayze. Time to take Wall Street down a few notches. The current bailout is for those most worrried about having to post bail. Brad Wesley would have been first in line with hat in hand. by Edward Ulysses Cate (0 articles, 0 quicklinks, 0 diaries, 232 comments [9 recommended, 0 rejected]) on Tuesday, Nov 11, 2008 at 12:59:49 PM (0+)

Jokes
When the people finally decide the jokes that have been played on them for the past hundred years just ain't funny no more, they will discover it is no longer "Nice Time", and hasn't been for a very long time. The "Vote" should have been replaced by pitch forks and torches a long time ago. This is not "government, this is predation." by William Whitten (0 articles, 0 quicklinks, 0 diaries, 4880 comments [1686 recommended, 28 rejected]) on Tuesday, Nov 11, 2008 at 3:33:24 PM (0+)
