Pay No Attention To The Man Behind The Curtain . . .

Our leaders are a bunch of sickening people:  the Republicans who are nothing more than the servants and pr firm of the ruling class, and the Democrats who give new meaning to the terms, ineffective, weak, vascillating, and gutless.  Meanwhile our country lumbers along, fat, bloated, and insipid.  We no longer create anything other than virtual experiences or bombs, individually and collectively we've lived way beyond out means for years, and the income disparity between the wealthiest and the shrinking middle class increases by the nanosecond.

Alrighty Then!

Well here we are FINALLY - back in the 60's.  Mass demonstrations, arrests, police brutality, corporate and goverment corruption, unnecessary wars,  massive inequality.  Yep, the good old days are back with several important twists:  it's a more fascist state in which we live, the inequalty isn't limited to race, ethnic group or gender considerations, the mainstream media is far less independent or reliable.  On the other hand the tools for organization and information sharing have improved tremendously and this makes ongoing shams much more difficult to maintain.  It's going to be interesting.
