He's interesting for an evening, at best, for some people. Then they go home and get back to the meat grinder the next day- all of that beautiful social commentary forgotten. They entirely miss the point and nothing changes.

I've been saying stuff like George did for a while now. I haven't made any headway and it hasn't gotten anyone anywhere. I think it's because people don't want to believe it's true. They don't have the same vision- the ability to stand back and look at the entire picture.

Yeah - it sux how even more extreme the "more for me via less for you" doctrine from our current crop of MORBIDLY WEALTHY GROTESQUE SOCIOPATHS has brought us within months of middle ages feudalism or Nazi-like totalitarianism.

It hurts like hell to be well informed about what people like Malcolm Nance are warning about and having to rely on my over worked over stressed depressed poverty stricken FELLOW CITIZENS to get engaged and take our Democracy back from these REPUBLICAN TRAITORS!
