Reply #61: You are right we do owe you an apology

And we are leaving you a world full of shit to deal with
But this struggle goes way back to the times of the underground railroad and the attempt by liberals to end slavery.
And these two classes of peoples have been struggling for power all this time
We won some great victories in the sixties with civil rights and it cost the lives of many of our leaders. But at some point in the late 70s we got tired of the fight and just wanted to dance and enjoy our youth.
But the opposition did not stop, they just changed there goals to that of a so called "free market economy" and got them an actor to play a role and deregulate the system to allow money and power to flow like a river into there money dams.
After that it was possible for them to just buy the government and they did.
Yes you have a big mess to clean up and you do need leadership that can insist on fundamental change, and I hop for our sake as well as yours that whoever is elected in 08 will start the process.
But a warning to you from history....it will be a long struggle and you must not give up or give in. and perhaps you can pass on an earth that is healing itself to the next generation with no apologies necessary.
