Let's make a list of people in this country who aren't held accountable for their actions.

[arcadian]

Zero responsibility and zero accountability. So far, I have:

The Federal government
Corporations

[slackmaster]

1. I was going to say "People who maintain the secret terror suspect list"

But you covered it with the Federal government.

[librechik]

3. the actual torturers and their bosses who ordered them to torture--and Scooter Libby.

a.k.a. Karl Rove, the revered felon and bullshit artist

[Bitwit1234]

24. He got my vote.....

[KansDem]

Why they're not 'cuff and hauled into court is beyond me!

[ipaint]

[NeedleCast]

I'm not a big fan of making lists anyway.

[NeedleCast]

[arcadian]

31. "people" can also mean "groups of people"

:eyes:

[Echo In Light]

9. Countless people holding positions of authority

"I think it only makes sense to seek out and identify structures of authority, hierarchy, and domination in every aspect of life, and to challenge them; unless a justification for them can be given, they are illegitimate, and should be dismantled, to increase the scope of human freedom." ~ Noam Chomsky

[mstinamotorcity]

11. The CIA,

Dick Cheney,Sarah Palin,Glenn Beck,Micheal Savage,Rupert Murdoch,Faux News,Roger Ailes,New York Post,Teabaggers,Micheal Steele(any A.A.repug),Billy Graham. I think I will stop there.

[Robb]

[FrenchieCat]

16. Fucked up Corporate media.

[Robb]

21. The DLC

yeah, I said it. And you know damn well its true.

The economic destruction of this country didn't take a vacation from 1993-2001. It just had slightly more competent management. And it seems it didn't stop when Chimp & Darth left either. :evilfrown:

[L0oniX]

22. 25 Years Ago: Philadelphia Police Bombs MOVE Headquarters Killing 11, Destroying 65 Homes

[noiretextatique]

23. Republicons

especially the "family values' type, e.g., Rekers and Craig and so many others.

[TreasonousBastard]

25. Well, if you count the people working for them, that's well over half the population...

so it's gonna be a very big list. A much smaller list might be those who actually take responsibility for their actions.

Just out of curiosity, which list would you be on?

27. Clergy

[tonysam]

28. School administrators

Few from principals on up are worth a damn anymore, but they have ironclad job security and can ruin teachers in order to keep their perks and privileges.

[Tsiyu]

29. Pharm cos

For their exhorbitant American drug price-fixing.

AND For spewing out Oxy and Hydros faster than the gusher in the Gulf can spew oil, causing addiction rates to soar, while offering no $$$ for treatment of addicts.

Instead, law enforcement finds Janie Sell-a-few-pills, demonizes her in the local paper and gives her a prison sentence for making $50 bucks of a few oxies.

The Pharm cos who make the shit make billions and are viewed as completely innocent of any crime. rather, they are seen as a great investment! make lots of money off other's pain! it's the goddamned American way!

[lame54]

30. Fox News

[chillspike]

32. Lobbyists

Corrupt Republicans who sell legislation for money, use distractions and delaying tactics in defense of evil corporations.

And no, I WILL NOT include Democrats because I believe we have sincere fighters of this on our side.

[NeedleCast]

34. Everyone who disagrees with me!

[pintobean]
