(24,739 posts)would take care of Dimson's demise when all the Iraq invasion hype began. I kept hanging on for all eight years. I grew up thinking those who serve in the government are individuals upheld to the highest standards of common sense & sound judgement. My faith was broken when Dimson/Shooter were not held accountable.
I want to believe that government leaders are sincere about their job descriptions as servants of the people's interest, but I've learned that too many are there in Washington focusing on politics, power, corporate interests only, un-American objectives, money.
Then I see Wisconsin stand up to their despotic governor, which began with kids & teachers from a neighboring school march into the capitol & grew to hundreds of thousands, even in icy, snowy weather.
Then, inspired by Wisconsin's grit, hundreds of thousands of protesters, with a majority of young people, gathered on Wall Street & in other major cities & stood up against corporations & the concentrated wealth of the top 1%!
We can no longer leave it up to our congress to do what's right. Our good, rational congresspeople are outnumbered by greedy political hacks to be able to make a positive difference. We have to stand up to the farce they're running.
