Complain? To whom? Those in power want to stay in power, want more power. They'll side with those having power, which isn't you. More importantly, those in power who disagree with Der Furor may find themselves "summarily removed" from power.

Protest? Where? Would you chance losing your job, your reputation, your family by getting arrested as a suspected terrorist, because if you protest you will be branded a threat to the U.S. security. If you protest you will not be seen as a Patriot. If you question you will be seen as a deviant. For people like Bush, shooting protesters means less protesters and more bullet sales. Large scale protests are opportunities to try out new "crowd control" technologies, like wars are chances to try out new armaments. It's called "Compassionate Conservatism" - lots of quick pain.

Violence? As if that ever solved any problem. Bush welcomes violence and bloodshed. If anything that will give him the excuse to take more power and advance even more draconian laws. He has the Military. We have the Internet. He can pull the plug on us on the basis of National Security. We cannot remove the military from him for the same reason. He has virtually unlimited funds and firepower. We have our words. Is the pen truly mightier than the sword when the wielder of the sword plays by his own rules, is illogical?

So, again I ask, what would you do?
