    Top comment from Mike Brock’s blog (where this diatribe came from):

    Right now it feels we have a growing chorus of people raising alarm, but very few people proposing any specific actions that are commensurate with the scale of the crisis? I appreciate your work and I don’t mean this flippantly, but do you have any proposals more specific than “resist” or “do something”?

    This comment is my thought exactly. Brock isn’t wrong, but he’s just blowing real hard and hoping the house falls down.

    All this blog did was piss me of, but it didn’t point me in a direction.

    (But thanks for posting, OP.)

      The founding fathers would have you join a mass of people outside the homes of the legislators demanding they take action or suffer consequences.

      Supposedly we have mechanisms to counter what’s going on. The people in DC need to be pulling those lenders yesterday. Every person in politics should be fighting back.

      If you’re looking for advice on what citizens should do, that’s not who the people sounding the are talking to.

      Its because its against TOS everywhere to say what must be done, and people are too afraid/divided/poor to do it.
