1. BUT if we can reverse the course of the last 30 years

Well at least we can try, right?

I completely agree with the rest of it.

2. George Carlin . . .

Dead on -- as usual.

I love his quote that "We don't have choice. We have the ILLUSION of choice." Brings to mind the "top-tier" Democratic candidates.

5. This is GREAT. I saw this a while ago, and loved it.

There are a few who really see. Vonnegut, Carlin, people on DU, Howard Zinn, and actually a lot of people. We're still underground.

7. "It's called the American Dream because you have to be asleep to believe it"

Truer words never spoken.
