Sadly, we do not have any Brandeis's, Warren's, RFK's, Wellstone's, JFK's, MLK's

All we have is US.

We don't have any REAL leaders of any stature anymore.

I find that very sad for our country.

is that you kill the leader allot of times you kill the movement or at least slow it down. MLK, JFK, RFK all assassinated and their movements took big hits because of it.

But they killed all the good guys.

I like it. Top down authoritarian social structures need to go away and die. In great big fires.

And if there's not a leader, then you can't point out anyone and kill them or arrest them to stop the movement. Without a leader, we're a hydra. You can cut off all the heads you want. We'll just grow more and keep coming, until we win.

This isn't a cult of personality. It's not dependent on one person. It's humans all over the world independently deciding that they've had enough and they aren't going to take it anymore and collectively taking action. It's beautiful, and it's what I want my future to be like.

But then I was born in 1980 and have spent much of the last decade online. I'm way more into peer to peer networks than I am into corrupt authorities telling me what to think.

in congress are living fossils. Also, we need to get the money out of elections else this country isn't going to hack it for the majority of the people. The country is being looted by wall street, the banksters and many corps.

That way, the whole thing doesn't get ended with one well-aimed bullet.

It is probably true. The regimes they rebelled against had been killing off any potential opposition leaders that showed themselves for at least a generation.

These revolutions are viral.

If they are successful, they will need to come up with some leaders, very quickly. They have to elect someone, and if they don't come up with someone the old guard will.

And there are others. This nostalgia stuff goes too far.
