1. I agree with your sentiments Dinger but I consider our dysfunctional corporate media a major issue
and I view the Wright controversy as the latest example of how they're selling the American People short on addressing the critical issues of the day. The upshot is I don't know how to ignore that issue as it pertains to the corporate media.

For what it's worth I believe Johnny Cash rocks!:yourock:

7. Everyone shut their eyes and pick one randomly
Education. Recession economics and manipulating an already badly gamed public into throttling their young. Tax struggles in the lower bracket ghettos. The national threat of propagandized texts with corrupted, insidious content and mind manipulation. Dumbing down. Depressing discouraging the masses. Darkening the national mind. Profiteering with the preferred use of the NCLB whip and the privatized schools that must end with the destruction of national education, informed citizens, and the favoring of wealthy elite self-sustaining education dominance by default. Stratification by guilt and failure and suppression of talent over privilege. Falsification and bastardization of an already corrupted and biased science in favor of wealth and the wealthy.

Now what are dem solutions since they already have shown themselves suckers for the obvious scam of NCLB
and unable to even work up a good froth over the fraud and horrors much less do anything legislatively. Pick an issue, any issue. Bush deserved to be impeached for this as much as any issue with Silverado Neil profiteering off shady software and harmful exams.

Except no one bothered to discuss in the classrooms that one of the biggest flaws in the Constitution was impeachment. It has nearly always been abused in exercise of coup attempts(Johnson, Clinton) or thwarted in its necessary exercise(Bush) because of the logical political flaw. When Nixon was going to go down because the Dems were simply in the majority, he resigned rather than ever demonstrate that the system could justly work. And thereby threaten the establishment forever with justice and accountability, both Democratic and Republican.

We were so educated about impeachment that no one bothered to point out how it fails to protect us at all. And so we demonstrate and petition for a pipe dream of democracy. No wonder that the flaw sinks into the dumbed down education system with false myth and crushed hopes and seeks MORE such advantages for the tyrannical and the criminal.

What do the candidates over but gloss compared to the crisis in the very mind and soul of education? How does this even relate to the money corruption settling into the institutional ignorance and its blind administration?
