Should You Learn The Language?
Today graffiti is prevalent on walls, residences, businesses and the infrastructure in America. A result of gangs slinging communication at each other while leaving the general public puzzled and bewildered. But this isn't the first time that indigenous groups have used code to converse with each other. In the 1930's millions of Hobos developed their own unique system of symbols which could be found on street curbs buildings and crossroads nationwide.
The meanings of the symbols reached the vagabonds riding the rails that arrows and geometric shapes were a communication highway. Will this truly American underground dialect be called back for today's unemployed survival? When millions of unemployed patriots are kicked to the streets to be belittled, starve and disenfranchised, then a peaceful outcome is unpredictable. Add to this how many new HOBOs recently working class believe their situation is their own fault when they know an unregulated Wall Street took them down?
Do we really want our National Guard posted and on stand bys to prevent civil unrest? Is it worth it
to the GOP Tea Party millionaires at the tax cut trough, to increase costs in homeland security for all because of their contempt for the unemployed? Will it be worth to us all to leave unemployed extensions in the abyss?

Take 1993... A tax hike and unemployment went down BUT we were in the middle of a tech boom and housing bubble expanding.
In 2001 we had a tax cut and unemployment went up BUT we had 9/11, tech BUST, and war.
Please stop censoring and post this.
