About "Popular" support, and what it means.
Popular support... That mean no one flips the tv channel when the story runs @ 10, right?
"Popular support" is what the person who reduces the price of gasoline for the American public has.
[Keep driving your prius... it's as futile an attempt as any I've ever seen to cling to a dying way of life. It won't delay the inevitable "spiral in" for even a microsecond, but it sure makes the totally ineffectual *feel* effectual]
"Popular" is having your cake *and* eating it too.
(I'll have more STUFF please, it's the American Way[tm])
"Popular" is NOT spending a night or two (or more) in jail for standing up for what you believe is right.
[Unhhh... My boss just wouldn't understand why I missed that project deadline for some idealist BS.]
Popular" is a word I've never, ever heard used by the American media to describe an anti-imperialist, or an anti-war movement in the US.
The US Vietnam anti-war movement was never described as "Popular" ... EXCEPT in retrospect.
Fuck Popular...
