Good read...*EDITED* Your brother posted this on fb. Good read from a truly concerned citizen. Like millions, I share your concern about this hyper-patriotism and corporate dictatorship. It was Voltaire who said "To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize." If you criticize our current crony capitalist economic system, you get called a "commie" or a "socialist" (communism and socialism in a vacuum are just as valid as capitalism). If you say "it's pointless to vote" you're looked down on as unpatriotic and stupid. It's as if noone sees the world around them anymore. Almost as if the very land and people have been swallowed up and assimilated by the ideals of a corrupt federal banking system that owns the entire political 'power' structure and sends us on wars, forces us to fight, hate and kill each other. As a minority growing up in the U.S., I never had much trust in America to begin with, it's as if everything was a dream... or a big fucking lie.The Half Fullhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14024553022809544955noreply@blogger.com
