I just had to point out this article.  It talks about violent rallies that occurred yesterday in various countries (those mentioned were all in Europe).  This is so perverse that it needs to be called out.  Those rallying were all anti-capitalist groups; the Greek trade union GSEE, the French union CFE-CGC, the French Socialist Party.  They were rioting, demanding the government do something to get them jobs.  Please remember that all of these countries practice socialism, not capitalism. 

They all have government meddling in their daily lives.  The rioting yesterday shows the depth of their belief in socialism as they were out demanding that the government GIVE them jobs or FIND a solution to what ails them. 

It’s funny to think back 2 weeks to the United States Tea Party rallies where hundreds of thousands came out to show their frustration WITH government involvement.  Let that soak in for a few minutes.  ( One hippopotamus, two hippopotamus, three hippopotamus…).  People in socialistic countries demonstrate to force their governments to find solutions to problems.  People in the United States (an almost capitalistic country, at least in the past) came out to demonstrate for the government to lessen its impact on the Individual. 

I find that poetic.  To state the obvious, the United States has many, many problems that need to be solved.  But what was evident from the Tea Parties were Individuals wanting to control the process to find solutions.  In socialist countries, they rely on groups to demonstrate for a new tit to suck.
