Anarchism: I'm REALLY enjoying this book

Any of you loyal board members having their own axe to grind with Uncle Sam might enjoy this book as well. titled "Revolts, protests, Demonstrations, and rebellions in American History" by Steven Danver

http://www.amazon.com/Revolts-Protests-Demonstrations-Rebellions-American/dp/1598842218

It will lend some perspective, and let those of you who are struggling know, that you are neither alone, nor unique.

I checked the book you mentioned. Are you suggesting we buy this set? It's $261 for the three volumes. I think I'll just read a US History book from the library.

This 3 volume set is in my local Library, so perhaps you might check yours.

Things from The Sagebrush Rebellion to the LA Riots, and gobs in between. I'm working on volume 3 right now, and it's dang hard to put down.

All those little ticks you think about "what if?" you bothered to stand up and be counted, here you can read what others have already gone through while standing their ground. fascinating.

Edit what I find intersting about the latest "uprising" is that it is a revolution undertaken by nerds without guns... taking advantage of information, social networks (youtube, twitter, facebook), everywhere computing, etc.

Wouldn't it be great if the government provided Internet and the ISP part. Why do the telephone and cable companies decide to charge us whatever they want
and the government provides the FCC who sits on their hands while all of the private concerns fight out in the free market? Is the answer that they
installed the infrastructure?

We have the roads maintained by taxes.

Telephones are becoming wireless. You've heard of cell phones.
I guess the phone companies want to stay in business providing something to the customer with the wires they've installed.
I wonder if they need a big lobbyist system to stay in business?

I think that if you follow the money and power, you'll be more successful than siding with those pesky anarchists and their bright ideas.
