Reply #97: I hear you loud and clear - things are getting worse, the demise is accelerating

torture, wall street bailout, wall street bonuses, health care, corporate influence,

to be honest it is fucking hopeless. There are probably less than 6 people in congress (house and senate) who really give a fuck.

If this last presidential election didn't send a mandate for change, nothing will.

I'm only voting 3rd party from now on. I used to laugh at 3rd party voters. No more. I finally get it. They really were right all along.

Here in Texas we have Kay Baily Hutchinson and Rick Perry - two of the slimiest creatures to ever crawl out of an oil well.

Short of grabbbing an axe and a torch, and laying siege in washington or wall street, nothing will change.

They people in power know we don't have the strength for protest let alone violence - so the politicians and CEOs will continue to enrich themselves at our expense.

I get really depressed when I think about the disaster we are laying at the our children's feet.
