We have to clean our govt., house now! Publicly Funded elections and complete campaign finance reform! That is the only issue from which all of these problems stem. The 1% control Congress, Judiciary, and the media! We need to break that cycle with candidates not beholden to the 1% for their position. Face it, the men and women who run for these offices are ambitious, power loving individuals who need to look to us to stay in office, not the 1%!!!

Have you ever noticed how those huge, black glass boxes of buildings the NSA uses look like something the "Borg" civilization from Star Trek would have designed? I wonder if everyone who works there has to plug a jack into their head every morning?
