Brian Doherty nails the most disturbing aspect to US politics
... and that is that both the left and right are so beholden to their handouts ... they're willing to look the other way on damn near anything.
In my best Morpheus voice ... "The Matrix is a system, Neo. That system is our enemy. But when you're inside, you look around, what do you see? Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters. The very minds of the people we are trying to save. But until we do, these people are still a part of that system, and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it."

Re: Brian Doherty nails the most disturbing aspect to US politics
I'm continually amazed at how little most Americans care about what Washington does. My wife included. In fact I chided her for it this morning. The more people get involved the more disgust they would have and the more things would change. Right now people are more concerned about E! News than real news. It infuriates me.
Positive Rep me and I'll vote for Obama in 2016

No Schit. We reside on a comfortable plantation. Getting to vote for your masters makes you no less a slave.
