Downside of Capitalism. It really does boil down to the money. Until enough people start making decisions based on some other paradigm than economics, these are the problems we're going to face, as a nation.

With the current state of information available and being distributed/disseminated, it's hard to believe that people aren't at least somewhat informed.

Priorities and realities are for a large part, financially based. Many other places have figure out how not to have warring cultures, and take care of their people. These problems, with the involvement of the true bosses (ostensibly) can be solved. Greed at all levels must be controlled.

You have to stand in awe of the marketing campaign that's led people to believe that the current state of afffairs in DC is the best we have to offer. Wow!
