www.opednews.com/articles/Last-Year-s-Excuses-Are-Go-by-Ralph-Nader-090714-889.htmlAny average American hoping for a break has his head up his ass and probably the ass of his favorite politician as well. In a government that is properly termed a 'Corptacracy' Anyone with that kind of view is hopelessly out of touch with reality. The good thing about the article is that if people finally understand what it is that is fucking with their lives and well-being they may do decide to do something about it. Until they see the problem they can't even address it. Governments role in this is to keep the people from seeing the problem for what it is by directing their attention to something else. The American public has become like a child seeing his first Christmas tree.

By the way, I was on the phone with Ralph Nader for over two hours back in the 1990's. It was about the hearings on telecommunications, chaired by Al Gore. Repubs were trying to create a complete monopoly of the news, etc., they almost got it, but we won, only to lose when Bush got into office.
