The American people have spoken

Actually, other than the obvious hyperbole and strawmen in those picket signs, counterintuitively, Americans SHOULD be protesting for a lot of the slogans. Obviously paving over our farmland helps nobody - and anybody who's been stuck in one of those 85MPH traffic jams on the 405 held at "rush hour" twice per day in LA knows that having more land paved over than acreage devoted to homesteads knows where that byproduct of the hyper-regulatory nanny state leads - especially when surrounded by razor wire and DoT traffic signs and PSAs erected by helicopter-moms-turned-bureaucrats to satisfy the personal whims of a wanna-be übermensch alpha class who still have this twisted belief that extra signage is the key to keeping the wily Epsilons seen in reruns of "Cops" from getting drunk and beating the shit out of their families or keeping poor street urchins from joining street gangs (as if a billboard is going to keep a kid who's being shaken down for his school lunch money every day on his/her way to school and sleeping in the bathtub every night to keep from being paralyzed by stray bullets from random gangland drive-by shootings from getting jumped-in by the local MS-13 clique - and a family, or a pack of kids, who have schlepped to the LA basin all the way from San Salvador is going to just turn around and head back because of some razor wire on the freeway?! There's more land paved over in the LA basin than land devoted to housing. How's that working out for them?

The rest of it all - sending scut-work crap jobs overseas, allowing corporations to grow bigger and stronger by selling us the stuff we need to live better and better and in the process creating more and more higher paying jobs here, thereby allowing people to become more wealthy, allowing IP, ADM, or other land use corporations to use the land and thereby have a financial incentive to keep our forests healthy, etc. and so on, and to actively foster competition and capitalism are, in fact, GOOD things that people SHOULD be protesting FOR! If only they taught counterintuitive concepts like Ricardo's Law of Comparative Advantage in school rather than teaching kids how to feel better about themselves, we would be able to capitalize on all the lost opportunity costs wasted - or rather sacrificed to Big Government - over the years and the lifestyle shown in 2001 or Star Trek would be a reality by now!
