Democracy is DEAD - right now. We have a bunch of "wannabe aristocrats"

The 1% folks are upset by all this Occupy stuff. European "leaders" are upset that the Greek PEOPLE might just have a say on their future.

What happened? How did we so totally lose our democracy, and with it our FREEDOM.

The current neo-feudalism many of us live under is a far cry from any sort of representative government.

It's not "Obamacare" that's the problem. It's not "welfare", "social security", "medicare" or "medicaid" that has sent us into decline -- it's the robber barons of the corporations.

It's the war profiteers.

It's the useless wars.

It's the race to send AMERICAN JOBS any damn place thay can -- not only because it's cheaper, but also because then the guys who own the company do not have to EVER get their hands dirty. They do not have to get involved in any sort of "industrial" stuff. Let those strange little people make the sneakers, while we think "lofty thoughts".

It's the dislike for, and fear of "working men" (and women). It's the desire to never get dirty at work ("sporting" stuff is O.K. -- after all, that shows they are "real men").

These "Masters Of The Universe" are a bunch of nasty little poseurs. Trained but uneducated, trying to be human.
