So how do we fix what caused this mess?

[jpgray]

We need some sleeper candidate to lie his ass off to the monied interests during the campaign, and then proceed to neuter them once in office. I'd also like the media to let it happen, a Porsche, and a million billion dollars.

Our economic situation has evolved since 1789--the super-corporation should not be ignored next time the ol' Constitution gets dusted off for re-examination. Greed and media control let the corporations influence public opinion so much as to perhaps let them decide the candidates who run in primaries and the candidate who wins the election. We need some smart and simple legislation, but it is never going to happen.

It's fun to feel like we can make a difference anyway, though.

1. We have enough liars.

We need another tactic to neuter these fascists but unfortunately I haven't a clue other than protest, protest and resist.

2. Maybe if we get screwed about 1000% more

Enough people will do those things so changes are made. Then I predict we'll get roped again in about five minutes.

:crazy:

3. I think corporations are over reaching the same as this admin

America can't afford too much longer to fork out the generous wealthfare they have received. Once they are no longer on the dole, I think they will begin to implode (to borrow that phrase from the Enron fiasco).

A physicist might say what goes up must come down. So far, everytime in history that someone thought they had a handle on the world, their achilles heal came back and bit them in the ass. I have no evidence for this theory just a gut thing. Sorry if that's not good enough! :D

4. That's true; I guess I want it to happen in my lifetime

Some of us are just so greedy. ;-)
