...across the world. But we are literally enthralled with the rich, and we stand idly by as they peddle the notion that they are the victims of class warfare.

Americans are content to run a casino for the worlds elite, bow to wealth as speech and hired guns as might and ride this country to the bottom as quickly as possible.

As a veteran, I would never have imagined I could be so disgusted with the character of this country; but day after day our "elites" seem composed of such assholes of behemoth portions.

And let's be real, the ones we need to care about it, namely "white guys" as a whole, do not give a fly. They have come along way perhaps, but are consternated by the browner world that globalization created and so they are doubling-down on reactionary stupid( e.g. The GOP).

They have Football as the examplar of their preferred caste system with a remote, unanswerable and untouchable owner that is profiting from public expenditures and simple consumerism. As Rush will remind you, everybody in football knows their place. They're good!

The deterioration in America in almost every single respect is a direct reflection of the cruelty at the center of the our character.
