In reply to the discussion: Forgive me if I roll my eyes at your precious outrage about torture. [View all]Mr. Mustard
(63 posts)I know I did speak up, I did vote for Kerry, I did volunteer and I did express outrage, often. I dialed Dems and marched, knocked on doors for health care reform and got the ACA. Better but still a giveaway to needless health insurance corporations.
When the system is rigged to reward those friends, and it's money and power who are D.C.'s friends, us mere mortals are close to being inconsequential. Yeah, it's beginning to seem futile, as if my posts or my signs standing in a sterile "free speech" zone are quaint and amusing to those in power.
Therefore, it seems the only way to actually make change is flat out revolution, and I don't see you facing jail time and or death to begin the action necessary to stop Wall Street, Wall Mart, the defense industry and the daily poisoning of our eco-system.
This post is a cop out. Sorry, but to blame me or us for the systematic corporate takeover of our government is actually shifting the blame from you because you see if we had all done what you did it would be better. Bullshit.
The game is rigged, they have the money, the power and the military along with the government and you say we're to blame?
Then do what we all know is necessary, start the revolution. See what happens.
Love your passion, and your sentiments, but you're blame is misguided.
