I weep at the destruction of the American Dream where hard work, education, loyalty and innovation could be rewarded with upward mobility. With a stable and secure future. Where there were laws and regulations to protect us from bankers, con-men and the thieves who would, insidiously and LEGALLY, take everything from us, then come after whatever is left.
Where our Constitutional Rights are waived with impunity and without our consent.
I'm terrified of insurance companies, government funded mercenaries, bankers, huge multinational corporations, consolidated media, and their relentless attacks right here, on the street where I live.
And they tell us we're supposed to be afraid of terrorists? Ha, we laugh at terrorists! Terrorists have nothing on our corporations! Americans can handle terrorists. It's our overlords that strike fear deep within us. Job loss, illness, foreclosure, all the nightmares of citizens in third world countries.
We have become a nation of victims at the hands of risk free corporate criminals. From war profiteers to our no longer locally owned bank.
We are no longer a nation of law, we are now a sad shadowy remnant of the promise, the example, we once held out to the world.
Our national bus is still in the ditch and there are many eager greedy hands leisurely shoveling the dirt over us all. While their limousines roll on down the very roads we paid for.
Change your voter's registration. January 13, 2010 (or whenever you've got a chance to do it) Be counted as the opposition to the new status quo.
And show up in DC on March 20th.
Or, we can always just call for a revolution, and get right to it. I'm up for that too, and I"ll bring the eats.
