You know though, Min, I'm honestly at the point to where I honestly realize that the 1% is winning the class warfare. They control the government, they have the best propoganda machine available outside of a total dictatorship, and they've gotten 40~some percent of the American public to fight for them (and those Voter ID laws prevent the majority from voting to their disfavor) and the more the government slides down that fascist oligarchy that the corrupt politicians are making, the more the voting public is being pushed.
Their medicare and medicaid is always under threat. Social Security and universal healthcare (mandates or otherwise) is all but doomed if the republicans get their way. The democrats are too spineless to help the general public assuming they're not swimming in the same money pool as the repubilcans.
I'm honestly at the point to where I want to see just how far this has to go before people start fighting back. The occupy movement is a good start, but I don't even know if it's making an impact and I'm just wondering just how long that'll last until they're all deemed terrorists under the NDAA and imprisoned for life without a trial.
I have to wonder just how far the public is going to be forced to this farce of an election given that Obama - Mr. Hope and Change is just Bush 2.0 and his "opposing" candidate is either going to be the same or exactly the same or worse. There are no good options and things are just getting worse.
I have to wonder just when people are going to start fighting for the kind of government they want.
Not even the conservatives in this country are finding candidates that they want to elect!
I feel really bad for saying it, but I'm almost hoping for a syria-style revolution against our own government.

If today you can take a thing like evolution and make it a crime to teach in the public schools, tomorrow you can make it a crime to teach it in the private schools and next year you can make it a crime to teach it to the hustings or in the church. At the next session you may ban books and the newspapers...
Ignorance and fanaticism are ever busy and need feeding. Always feeding and gloating for more. Today it is the public school teachers; tomorrow the private. The next day the preachers and the lecturers, the magazines, the books, the newspapers. After a while, Your Honor, it is the setting of man against man and creed against creed until with flying banners and beating drums we are marching backward to the glorious ages of the sixteenth centry when bigots lighted fagots to burn the men who dared to bring any intelligence and enlightenment and culture to the human mind. ~Clarence Darrow, at the Scopes Monkey Trial, 1925
Politics is supposed to be the second-oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first. ~Ronald Reagan
