Stop pumping up your ego and get to work .....
Hey Bandit. Bullwinkle and others who are pulling the load .... How long have we been trying to get this off the ground. 10 -12 weeks? As of last count I have 412 email addresses I was sending email to with the day news related to fuel prices every day. Then I got involved with this bunch thinking we could get the message to more people, and to help start a campaign to organize a large group of people that could pull off a real protest. but instead we get people who haven't a clue about putting a protest together. My training comes from working with the UAW, and the IBEW Union organizers during the 60s, & 70s, where you throw your ego out the window took direction from those who could keep a train of thought going for more than a day ... who could organize a wildcat strike overnight. You can't have all Chiefs and no Indians. I think the problem here is that truckers become truckers so they can be their own chief, and I don't blame them for that, not one bit, but people here need to chock it down, shut up and lessen, or get out there on their own with a baseball bat. You can only have two, maybe three chiefs; the head chief, a war chief, and a PR chief. The Indians have to lessen and do want needs to be done to keep the ball rolling, but where are the Indians. Everyone has an idea, everyone thinks their ideas is better than the other guys ideas. So some here are using their brains as wheel chocks, and we're going nowhere.
I have three journalist that I had been feeding my research to over the last 7.5 years, finding stories on the net, passing along results of congressional hearings or anything they can build articals around for the Sunday papers they work for. I'd had been fighting this war from the day slime bag Dicky Cheney started having his secret meetings with the oil companies back in 2000. You still can't get copies of the minutes of those meetings through the "Freedom Of Information Act" not without all the pages being black-lined out, all 14 pages are blacked out. I have put four to eight hours, six days a week for the last 7.8 years. I have written letters to my Congressmen, I have called my Congressmen, and have emailed my Congressmen, sometimes as often as four times a week when I found information relating to the rising gas prices, or their lack of not doing their jobs.
Then we get people with good intentions, but can't help muddying up the water, with more and more ideas that have already been around the block two and three times, because they don't or won't read past threads to see what we've been doing for the last 12 weeks. They keep mucking around in the same crap we been through over and over again. If they took an hour of so and looked at all the threads relating to the Shutdown, the Strikes, the Boycotts maybe, just maybe we could get something done here.
This isn't an organized group, this is kayos in large doses, with just a few people pulling the load. But even if everyone were pulling their share of the load, look at the number of people who are logging on to this website, it pathetic ...... makes we wonder who we're fighting, the Oil Slicks or all the losers. I think I was getting the message out better on my own, I got far far more response to my blog in one week than I have here in the last 12 weeks.
The truckers had better get the crap together or sell their trucks, gas prices are expected to go to $5.00 this summer, and even $8.00 to $10.00 if we get hit with a hurricane in the Gulf this summer. If anyone here thinks it will get better on it's own their just shooting to many blue pills, bank are going to start making you pay for their mistakes, the jackals are circling, and we ain't seen nutten yet.
Here another lump on the forhead, 10 of the 12 riches people in the world are Asian, and they think you've had it to good for to long, and they are about to put the screws to us.
Me? if I can sell my house this summer, I'm thinking of moving to Canada, or Sweden. I have two of my four married daughters living in both countries. I've said twice now that I'm finished with this bunch, but keep hopping they will stop the pumping up their egos and make a real change on this website, but not so. So.......Whatcha think Bendit and Bullwinkle, are we pissing in the wind?
