If the truckers in Canada had been violent, rude, or too inconsiderate, they would have alienated the citizens and the citizens' numbers is strength. the parasitic elite need us (the host) and we don't need them. Alienating the masses - even liberals- is risky. I love the idea of blocking in Manahattan, but then the masses might turn on the truckers and sympathizers. Its a tricky situation. Its not fair that we have to treat the enemy gently when they bash us around, but doing otherwise would make us look like the enemy. We need to win the war not the battle (think longer term).
