53. So what....
I know that is really cynical, but really so what? Yeah everyone will be shocked until Angelina tries to adopt another baby, or Jennifer Aniston starts dating some new guy, or "OctoMom" makes a sex tape or some other stupid shit that will take our focus and attention from what is going on and what is important back to the same bullshit 99.9% of this country focuses on....

Don't you get it? We got all the change we were going to get when Obama was elected...he was elected to placate the masses who were ready to take to the streets...the same way the civil rights legislation that passed in the late 1960's was used to placate everyone without making or allowing any meaningful change, for example, do we still have racial separation in this country? Of course we do, we just are not allowed to do it legally so instead we just use economic segregation, keep the people we don't want near us poor and uneducated or in prison so they can not compete economically and thus are separated out by those we can afford better...the powers that be concede just enough on the surface to keep the populace under their control for another 30-40 years or so...until some new shit blows up, people get pissed and they decide that they need to sell us on yet another "great day for america"

It's bullshit. No one will see justice for the crimes committed, it will be swept away and forgotten about (hello Watergate, Iran Contra, SNL Crises of the late 80's) in large measure because of the manufactured economic crisis that we have all fallen for, which again no one will be held responsible for, no one in any position of power actually gets punished for abusing that power...it's really simple...the argument has already been changed from "was a crime committed" to "is this really a crime if it was even done"

If you are waiting for an investigation, forget about it, you have a better chance of winning the lottery.......without buying a ticket.

As the great Richard Pryor once said: "There is no justice....Just Us that's it"
