15. What do you Expect?
Sun Jan 6, 2013, 11:31 PM
Jan 2013

This country is not about the people anymore. It is about the wealthy. They write our laws. They are in charge. Remember the Roman empire. We have spectacles to see. How are the football playoffs going? What is up with the Miami Heat? What is up on American Idol? We are not to pay attention to politics. That is for the elite.
