5:36 pm
moment. these people act because they have no alternative. this is called the resistance yet these people cannot be accused of being criminals because their intentions are most honorable. these people that risk their personal safety for their family. their community and ultimately their country to encourage people who are not in favor but that does not translate into social conflict free labor there are no social problems in some of the well they're not social problems one must see the glass half full and people are making an effort and enormous effort to be one theme in their rounds of the law to be nonviolent but to express that they don't want this it's pretty frustrating and i think for these communities that to face these overwhelming obstacles and challenging corporate interests one of the huge problems that we have in this country in terms of our own . i'm ocracy is the role that corporate power and corporate money play.
