It would be a small step.

(750 posts)Descartes said When in doubt, doubt everything. Being in Illinois and watching two governors jailed during my life time is credible evidence that those two are only a small fraction of the corruption in this state or other states having the same problem.
Nationally America has the same problem only a huge amount of denial with free speech money now covering up an incredibly awkward clique of political groups where mainstream media as the conduit that mask out what America really needs to know to work as a superpower.
Turning off regular cable and looking at free air telecasts is a remarkable difference with an extraordinary dumbing down of society. Our young kids are obese and descending stupid, actually a frightening building block for the accession of billionaires that seem to perpetuate this chaos in a system that eventually will burn itself out. Their grandchildren have no future with this approach!
In this type of communication which is now on the same powerful level as the paper news was years ago has a converging and or diverging methods that sift out about getting good honest discussions about what really is happening in business, science, civics, government, and especially education. Limited government advocates tend to make believe one important person can ride ahead to lead everyone. The more we all think about society it does take a team to make it work for the good of everyone, it takes a community, maybe a DU ers community.
Thom Hartmann said a lot in this video that I totally agree with but he always seems to favor the incompetence of a person that is the cause of corruption in our government. In other words individuals that do not have the capability to comprehend what is really happening. Worse to pass it off as oh well they dont know any better. That is avoiding negligence, not addressed especially in, operational lies, or lies in political campaigning. It all is obnoxiously out of control in full throttle flying wild mainstreaming by the one percent media to move public reaction that profiteers, rather than the social benefit.
For decades all Americans do have the power to reverse this nonsense but have to have the courage. Just as Thom had suggested to be able to say a constructive analysis about leadership takes courage especially when it traces to the truth. Such as The Bush administration from my view held the door open that formed the atrocity of 911. When I say hold the door open it could mean they knew when to do nothing.
Two books on the market now show incredible evidence 911 was not only inside it was outside too. Gerald Posners Secrets of the Kingdom and Russ Baker Family secrets illustrate the powerful connection the Bush family have with the Bin Laden family, business, banking and transportation especially Bush connected by family to the famous Harriman fortune in the railroad complex. This is a very powerful economic position, totally avoided by mainstream media that could go with the gain of the economy or against the grain. Yes as in ethanol.
Our security system is compromised beyond repair likely the very reason Thom Hartmann is claiming that Homeland security should be dismantled. There are far too many Bush hold overs still in strategic positions that compromise the security. I would say further many are still loyal to the current obstructionist party, that want to see the president fail. From my view that is what I would call a subtle civil war in American politics. How to untangle that is the problem.
