The government is currently acquiring the assets of corporations under the guise of bailouts but it is really just the government and the corporation becoming one. As for us regaining our rights the public has been far to placated for that to ever happen.

I'm sorry to say that we are simply at the point were one has to acknowledge that it is Game Over. The American experiment was grand while it lasted, which clearly it lasted longer than anyone thought it would during the Constitutional convention, but it has now become entombed in the annals of history.
