In college at the time, I remember this very well. I guess we (of that generation) thought TV would be the great equalizer to end all the provincialism and fascism. That was mostly true for a couple decades. But, as in this piece, our elected reps just continued the treachery which brought about our worst nightmare again, only this time it's the internet as well as TV that have been usurped. Everyone forgets to mention Wellstone, so here it is: why the senate Dems acted so docile since. IMHO.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.

Tell me more...
