5. Obviously the screen name and avatar are appropriate to this thread
And I mean that with all sincerity, OffWithTheirHeads, because I'm just trying to find a way out of this mess WITHOUT resorting to FRSPs*.

The point made, that we thought (sort of) that we were voting for change, is valid. So is the point that the oligarchs are elected and can be replaced at the next election, but they are funded and the media are controlled by entities NOT subject to election and rejection.
