If you don't know who Billy Jack is look him up. He is the leader of all hippies and anti-corporate causes (OWS). He promotes pacifism by beating and killing those who oppose it (a true leftist).
OWS has no leaders. If you want a leader look in a mirror. We are all leaders.
Wow thats just great, lets play sports where everyone wins.
Why not? There are some cultures in the South Seas where that is exactly the case, where the more physically adept do everything to make sure that the less physically adept win, which can be quite challenging if you've ever tried it.
Name those cultures. It's always some other culture thats perfect, and there always remote and there always some small group of people that are just perfect. If thats what you want go join them. I like my culture here, so leave it alone and go join one thats already established as perfect. But you won't because your a coward and can't follow your own advice.
I didn't say it was perfect. In fact, by western standards they are generally extremely primitive. The most famous of these societies is the Trobriand Islanders. They were very easily colonized precisely because they had no sense of competition. I like the culture here also. I really couldn't imagine living anywhere else but in the United States, but that has a lot more to do with the nature of the popular culture here than the nature of the government. I also like the sense of fair play that really is so common in American culture, though of late it seems to be being overtaken by a mean spiritedness that quite frankly seems unAmerican to me.
I call bullshit
A very sophisticated, sensitive and insightful observation
Billy Jack is a 1971 action film. It is the second, and highest grossing, in a series of motion pictures centering on a character of the same name, played by Tom Laughlin who also directed and co-wrote the script. Filming began in Prescott, Arizona, in fall 1969, but the movie was not completed until 1971. American International Pictures pulled out of the production, halting filming. Twentieth Century Fox came in and filming eventually resumed, but when that studio refused to distribute the film, Warner Bros. took over. The film lacked distribution, so Laughlin took it to theatres himself in 1971.[2] The film died at the box office in its initial run but took in more than $40 million in its 1973 re-release, which was supervised by Laughlin. Billy Jack is a "Half-breed" American Cherokee Indian Green Beret Vietnam War veteran, hapkido master. The character made his début in The Born Losers (1967), a "biker film" about a motorcycle gang terrorizing a California town. Billy Jack rises to the occasion to defeat the gang by defending a college student who has evidence against them for gang rapes. This changes with the second film, Billy Jack, in which the hero must defend the hippie-themed Freedom School and its students from townspeople who do not understand or like the counterculture students. The school is organized by Jean Roberts (Delores Taylor). In one scene, a group of Indian children from the school go into town for ice cream and are refused service and then abused and humiliated by Bernard Posner and his gang. This prompts a violent outburst by Billy. Later, Billy's girlfriend Jean is raped and one of the Indian students is murdered by Bernard (David Roya), the corrupt son of the county's most successful (and ruthless) businessman (Bert Freed). Billy confronts Bernard and sustains a gunshot wound before killing him with a hand strike to the throat. After a climactic shootout with the police, and much pleading from Jean, he surrenders to the authorities and is arrested. As he is being driven away, a large crowd of supporters raise their fists into the air as a show of defiance and support. The plot continues in the sequel, The Trial of Billy Jack.
HE IS NOT A REAL PERSON! I WATCHED THIS MOVIE AS A KID!
TROLL
In case it wasn't already plainly evident.
Does that mean the site is going to silence me, true leftist just like Billy Jack
OWS is not a real movement so a fictionalized person from the 60's would be perfect.
