...to those who were in cryogenic suspension during those boom years for decent government under Slick Willie.
Sad, but true. Good piece by Scahill. The Clinton Admin was bad. Bush was, yes, worse - so looks like we're headed back to.... bad. Great latitude we are 'allowed'. :mad: Nothing was ever given by the Elites - not the 40 hr week; not unions; not minimum wage; not the end to slavery; not the vote for women - and on and on - every one of those and more were hard fought for. If we expect more we have to fight and push more - get out in the street more and make more noise by a variety of means and constantly. We're saddled with a horrible system that, naively, most believe is the best of all possible worlds - ha! Did Clinton or Carter come clean on Dallas - or any other Deep Political stuff? Did they end pre-emptive wars and covert operations? Did they defang the MIC or let the average person make a decent wage and living - even [perish the thought] have National Health Care? Nix - they let things just go on as they have been going on - holding the place for the even meaner Repugnicrats - that's the game - two rigged teams and no one else is allowed to play. I say we pelt the 'field' with so much **** they have to pay attention and can't play their game anymore. It is just the Yankees and the Cowboys. We want and need neither. WE are the sovereign - if only we'd begin to act like it. Yes, the Elites manipulate and propagandize the average person - but the average person all too oftne lets them - even in some ways welcomes the warm and fuzzy mythology and lies - knowing [minus the details] they are likely just that - lies. it is hard to get up in the morning and feel good about humanity, generally. But those of us who know which side the bread is buttered on [neither side] really have to engage this battle. Time is running out on the Planet. I say that as an Environmental Scientist and as an observer of the growing power of the Deep Political structures. New Game or End Game. Choose one.
