We are choking to death on false paradigms while the rich keep laughing
Democrats v. Republicans
Black v. White
Pro choice v. Pro life

Who cares? We do.
Who doesnt care? the rich who only keep getting richer.

They donate damn near equal amounts of bribes to both parties before, during, and after elections. They OWN the news, both Fox (News Corps) and the beloved M$NBC (General Electric), as well as all of the printed media. Who controls what happens in Washington? Who writes the legislation? How many millions of dollars a day are lobbyists from Big Insurance, Big Pharma, Big Food, Big War, and Big Power paying the Democrats and Republicans so that they guarantee a strong tomorrow for them and their boards of directors?

The whole dem v. repuke thing is a false paradigm trumped up to make us think that we have some power or control over some aspect of what happens to us. The same way that the rich propagated the white v. black and pro choice v. life memes to keep us divided and full of fauxrage. As long as we are fighting each other, we will never turn our attention on those who make billions regardless of who is in power or what else happens to us pissants.

3. The states may be united but the people are divided
We need to find one thing we can unite on that is screwing us all the English banking system we are using instead of the American Banking system. The American banking system uses public banks that serve the people, owned by we the people. The English banking system we are using uses private banks that screw the people.

We need government banks to compete against private banks just as we need a public health care option to compete against the private health care industry.

4. I just said this in another thread,
though not half as eloquently. We are being manipulated. It is a game, for the controlling players, and a life and death struggle for most of us.

If we were united, their Bastille would crumble.

5. yes, it would crumble.
america doesn't put itself in the position of having to fight a fair fight. we spend more on the military than all other nations combined.
many of the military dollars spent directly target strategies to control the masses. psychological as well as physical weapons are honed on foreign peoples then turned against us.
we have the power to stop it but most of us don't believe it.
