The 2008 Election will be about Circuit City

[omega minimo]

Everyone is talking about it.
Everyone is affected by it.
The dots are connected.
It's an open secret.
That old saying "people only care when it affects them" has finally hit home.

Which Democratic candidate can carry that to the White House?


==========================================

edit title ("Globalization," "Circuit City," same day, different dots) and:

"I understand that my day would have gone a lot smoother if I had agreed to let loss prevention inspect my bag. I understand that my day would have gone a lot smoother if I had agreed to hand over my driver’s license when asked by Officer Arroyo. However, I am not interested in living my life smoothly. I am interested in living my life on strong principles and standing up for my rights as a consumer, a U.S. citizen and a human being. Allowing stores to inspect our bags at will might seem like a trivial matter, but it creates an atmosphere of obedience which is a dangerous thing. Allowing police officers to see our papers at will might seem like a trivial matter, but it creates a fear-of-authority atmosphere which can be all too easily abused."

--Michael Righi, arrested for leaving a store with his purchases and receipts



Add this to the Too Little Too Late file. How long have folks been putting up with this stuff, the frogs in the slowly heating water...?

Isn't the dehumanization, the loss of citizenship, part of the globalization agenda that is finally "hitting home"?
