4. Oh, just looks like one more republi-CON shake-down.

Just with different clothing.

7. Just as Warren Buffet said almost 10 years ago, "There is class warfare

all right, but it�s my class, the rich class, that�s making war, and we�re winning". They're winning because we aren't even fighting. We're too busy running around being alternately terrified and distracted, to notice that we are worse off than our parents and our kids are being saddled with a (sub-prime) mortgage they have no hope of paying off.

Unless and until the sheeple wake the fuck up and take back their power, we will continue to find ourselves falling further and further behind, until we become nothing more that serfs laboring under the peonage created for us by our own "representatives".

Unfortunately, I see no signs of this happening in this country.

8. My visceral reaction is one of profound anger and outrage

(that would be increased adrenalin, clenching of the jaw and the grinding of teeth.)

9. That the progress we made

in the field of labor rights and environmental standards was a short-lived illusion, and that we have come full circle, from the industrial revolution to global corporate government.
