When an unholy alliance of big business and government have been working for over a hundred years to propagandize the public about what is good for the country what more should we expect.
Unfortunately history shows us that the $hit has to hit the fan in a major way before the public ever wakes up to even a small fraction of what is wrong and a small amount of superficial reform is enacted. Then the people once again become complacant and the cycle repeats itself. Its been this way for thousands of years.
This would normally make me rather cynical but fortunately humanity has been making some progress over the last millenia or so. For that reason I will continue to do my part to better the world around me.
Right now it appears that we are certainly on the insert $hit into fan part of the cycle and after watching what bush has done to navigate the doo doo into the rotating apparatus I would be willing to vote in a chimpanzee as a replacement for bush to see if the devastation can be minimalized.
Unfortunately it means I will probably be replacing my moral vote for Nader with a strategic vote for Kerry.
Sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do.
