Reply #19: The growing unease stems from a probable compromised POS

[NorthCarolina]

worthless legislation that will do little to help those who need help the most. HR 676, for my money, is the answer...but I am enough of a realist to know that there are far too many corporatists, and far too few populists in our government for that to be seriously considered. Hopefully Americans will change that balance some day, but I fear it would take a massive and sustained effort to educate a dumbed-down populace.....unlikely because the conservatives like the low IQ, easily manipulated masses. It's what makes Fox News such a success.
