53. We must Thwart their efforts to divide us - See Wisconsin Movement
This article ties in with another that I just read, in the Guardian (UK), by John Nicholls.

" As Wisconsinites have taken their sides, and as Ohioans and Michiganders and New Yorkers have done the same, they have found that the old divisions that so favoured the elites – white versus black, gay versus straight, native versus immigrant, urban versus rural – are abstract and meaningless. What is real is the threat of state and a nation so defined by corporate campaign contributions, corporate lobbying and corporate power that they can take away our right to organise unions, to speak in our workplaces and our communities, to petition – as the founders of the American experiment intended – for the redress of grievances.

Which Side Are You On, Indeed! We all need to come together against the machine rather than against each other.
