now so freaked out that we commit ourselves to Change. Endless Wars, Bailouts to Criminal Banks and their Heads, who are still in power and the demise of the Labor Unions and the Environmental Movement, Workers Safety, Rights to Have a Job and to be able to earn interest on our Savings that we put aside in Safe Banks...etc.

If that involves hyperbole....then...so Be It. Some Here to accept posts from FAUX/Corporate News as the "Enemy of All" while we on the Left try to do what PBO said was to "Push Back."

It all swirls around so that we eventually don't know who or what to trust....except our own readings of Books, Life Experience and Whatever we can find to "Ground Us" when our "Life Experience" contradicts what BOTH our Electoral Parties are Feeding Us!

We become "Willing Pawns" in a Financial System we can't even participate in and don't even know the VALUE OF in THESE TIMES.
