The GOP Machine HAS taken over, the media, the Judiciary everything.

I don't believe things will turn back to solving problems. When things get bad that's what Free Nations do, like the Old USA during the Great Depression.

But Totalitarian Nations, such as Imperial Amerika is transitioning more fully into every day, donot do so. They scramble for the crumbs and the Leaders try to steal everythign they can and then the scapegoating begins.

Oh, it will come in some other Kinder and Gentler form when it comes, probably when the fiscal crisis perpetuated by Endless War and Endless Debt explodes as the baby Boomer retire.

Or maybe not. Considering times are quite good economically (compared to the Great Depression I mean, not the Last Days of the Old Republic and Clintonomics, to which the economy of the Empire looks like shit) it masks how truly nazi/Soviet/Roman-like e have become as a people.

The outpoouing of individual tsunami aid gives me a litle hope, but history teaches us all that is required of most people in Totalitarianism is to do nothing obey and accept.

But I so dearly want to be wrong an you to be right.

But I can't shake the feeling that is impossible for the pendulum to swing to the other side if the clock is broken.
