218. Agreed Brother
I've been saying that it's a comin' down the road for a while now.

Historically, people who come under increasing poverty, who feel less and less power, do eventually in some small way, strike back in the only way they feel they can. It doesn't mean it's right, it's just a fact.

I don't much care for the bombing method, I'd think people would strike out more directly, at the people who really have attacked them over the years, exported their jobs, made terrible decisions in the supreme court to give companies so much power to pollute, and so little regulation.

Recently, the thuggish conservative five have allowed unlimited money to flow into the electoral system, giving them even more than their already wildly powerful influence.

Those five have more power to do evil than anyone in Congress right now, and are using it to their maximum ability. Hopefully, Obama will be able to appoint another judge during his term, or perhaps the next one, if he gets reelected. He may lose in the primary if he doesn't start paying a bit more attention to his base. Then maybe they can roll back some of the more onerous rulings.
