This, however is scary:

"There is looming up a dark new power. . . . The enterprises of the country are aggregating vast corporate combinations of unexampled capital, boldly marking, not for economic conquest only, but for political power. For the first time in our politics, money is taking the field of organized power. The question will arise, and arise in your day though perhaps not fully in mine: 'Which shall rule--wealth or man? Which shall lead--money or intellect? Who shall fill public stations--educated and patriotic free men, or the feudal serfs of corporate wealth?'"

Do you realize that speech could have been given this evening? It could have been delivered at the California recall debate. Or, it could have been delivered by Dean, or Kucinich, Gephart, Kerry or Sharpton (wow, wouldn't that have been something to watch!) The point is that the roots of the corporate evil we are facing today began a long, long time ago and the definitive battle for the heart and soul of America is beginning to take shape in the 2004 election.


btw...I will try to be in Baraboo Saturday...it's looking grm for the trip right now, but I'm still hopeful.
