I do not quite understand the, for the most part, complete dismissal of these protests. Whether it is the MSM, Democratic powers, even Fox. Here people say these actions will never amount to nothing because they are unfocused. OK, lets say some Liberal voice with cash funds “focus”. Someone like Soros. If that were to happen, the Righties will howl how Soros is corrupting the political process. If the Democratic electorate steps up, again Fox types will rage and most Dems are eunuchs. So what we have are pretty much a group of people who feel they have no voice, are marginalized by the system, and are left to their own steam. So their response, IMHO, is brave, honest, and should be commended. And also should be supported. The reasons they have started are reasons that concern us all. By all, I mean the 99% of us that need to work to live, raise families, feel secure.

Reading in this thread that Gus has, or is considering leaving LGF over this issue is sad. I thought I knew the soul of LGF. I guess I was wrong.

BTW, if anyone knows how to get in touch with Gus, I would appreciate the info.
