Springsteen appeared on the cover of yesterday's Sunday Times Magazine in the U.K., with a lengthy profile inside that largely bypasses Darkness talk for a more domestic agenda. In "Bruce Springsteen: Just a Regular Multimillionaire," Nick Rufford pays a visit to Bruce's New Jersey home to talk about everything from organic farming on his 300 acres ("It took five years to clean the soil, and some expense," says Bruce), to therapy, to home life, to the current political state of affairs: "The climate (in America) is very, very ugly for getting things done... The moderate reforms President Obama fought to make are called Marxist, socialist. I mean, the most extreme language is put into play to describe the most modest reforms that would move the economy back towards serving a majority of its citizens. There’s a tremendous distortion of information."

1. If we don't get this message thing under control we've lost
as it stands right now we're only going through the motions of democracy and if we don't rise up and make ourselves heard and put an end to his thing called fake news we don't have a chance.

5. the right wing pays lip service to the people
and the nuts on the right wing are pissed off.

the president further abandons the core principles of the Democratic party and the left is pissed off.

As always, it's we the people who get the short stick at the expense of the rich.

the divide continues to grow between the have even mores and the have even less.

Crazy at it might sound, if things continue on the current path, our anger will have more in common with the half wit tea baggers than any of what the Democratic party puts down.
