[kj] OT - Tunis, Egypt, Iran, Lybia.. Wisconsin??

[Mark Kolmar]

Don't underestimate the chess-piece / ratfucker aspect. However, in
the U.S., people are not physically afraid to protest -- certainly in
the last 40 years, among white people, and especially the middle-aged.

I have an uncut 2-story house, holding territory in one of the
gentrified islands of inner-city Milwaukee. Wisconsin governor refused
some $800m for rail between Milwaukee and Madison (to tie with
existing Milwaukee-Chicago line, and promise of Minneapolis link). I
feel this has to do with a cultural and political split in America, in
which a faction of rural Americans and oligarchs do not want "city
people" to be physically or economically connected, able to hang out
in small towns, or politically coherent and potent.

I might have a lot more to say about this.
