You see, while corporate scumbags are stealing everything that isn't nailed down they distract a very significant portion of the electorate with bullshit issues like guns, abortion, and gay marriage.  Good luck with your "revolution," you are going to need it.

Bread and circuses.

Exactly -- bread and circuses. The thing is, we're not supposed to be the modern equivalent of the Roman mob, but in many ways we're worse since we're supposed to know better. As a people, we've become soft and willfully ignorant of how thoroughly we're being fucked. I could go on and . . . oh, look at that shiny wedge issue! It's . . . irresistible and . . . shiny!

I'm a bit younger than Min, but my dawning awareness of politics as a child began around the time of Watergate. I, too, have been watching the whole thing go down the toilet since the Nixon years.

Revolution? In this country? What a fucking joke. We're a disgrace as a people. I want to puke in my soup every time I hear someone solemnly intone the founders, as though they would have done anything but despise us and everything we've become.
