...what are the chances of this actually happening? Is it right at none, or are we going to be crazy optimistic and say it's almost none? Hell, she's probably proud of what she did. Justifiably proud, too - morally reprehensible though it may be, kicking in the heads of a few malcontents is going to score her tons of points with the types of people who have enough money to, say, fund political campaigns, or, for example, give out cush jobs to former mayors who displayed sufficient loyalty while in office.

...America was the day reagan made that deal with iran or perhaps the income cap. Maybe you can say it was the day Glass-Steagall was repealed. Whatever, whenever you think the end of America started, we stand today at the brink of that end. Not in a blaze of patriotic fervor against a superior foe but at the hands of the wealthy, corporate forces and their political puppets. Yes, I think the republican'ts have won; they've proved that government doesn't work, "See how bad things can be when a dem is in the White House!" even as they figure out how twist that proverbial knife in the backs of all Americans. And the dems, Progressive my ass. They rolled over at every turn as a political entity and sacrificed the legacy FDR created and that started maybe with Clinton actually signing the end of Glass-Steagall or nancy pelosi not impeaching bush. Maybe it was obama not ENDing the bush tax cuts. We, the People, NEED to remove money from politics, we need to find and promote people with an idea that this country HAS a future that lies within its laws applied evenly and fairly among all people. We need to end reckless invasions of other nations and work to build consensus on the future of the planet. The end of America has started slowly and creeped up on us. Now without common sense ruling the day among the masses, the end is near and I fear the future will not allow me to say these things and would be pointless to try as the winners of the war usually get to write the history.
In case its not obvious, I am not usually optimistic self today.

Interesting...

Good on Keith for calling for swift action.
