Reply #39: Where we are has to do with decades of planning and investment in order [View All]

to concentrate power and wealth into the hands of fewer and fewer people....the "right" kind of people. Some of those people are dems, of course. Those corporatists and empire builders who have steered us in this direction would not risk their investment merely on whether or not the GOP was in power. This scheme must work with either dems or GOP in control...and it is.

By and large, we're on our own in a situation that the constitution could not have foreseen. We thought, before 2006 elections, that things looked bleak. We were encouraged, afterward, that finally some progress was being made, at least in terms of minimum wage, stem cells, etc....the first 100 hours thing and all. But I'm not so sure that the big picture looks much different now than before November.

You have captured a sense of the serious situation we're in...and the need to match that seriousness with...something...from someone. It would be so much easier if our dc dems would do what is right.

I personally believe the neocons in office knew there would be repercussions and consequences due to their rogue actions and lies...they probably knew some would go to jail, some would be disgraced. But in their eyes, this is worth it. Trillions of dollars. Trillions. A little public anger is offset by much applause in corporate boardrooms.

They probably can't believe we've allowed them to stay in office this long, and are amazed every day that the plan is working so well.
