without coming to DU to find out.

The 'ebb and flow' as you call it, has been a big learning process for many of us as to how politics actually work, and the realization that this is WHY the country and millions of its citizens (just in case actual people might be important in all of this) are so adversely affected.

This woman, eg, was well known as a contributor to the Sub Prime Mortgage scandal, a scandal that the FBI warned Bush about back when on DU people agreed that some things are just not acceptable, even in Politics.

What we had hoped was that people like her would be finally investigated for the role they played in the destruction of so many lives. So we worked hard to keep Republicans out of office so the country could down to the business of finding out what had gone so terribly wrong.

We were successful, or so we thought. Since then we have been told that we not going to investigate Wall St. criminals or War Criminals. Now maybe that is just 'ebb and flow' to you, but to those of us who believe that the rule of law should apply equally across the board to everyone, it has been a huge awakening to see clearly, finally, how the system works to protect, not prosecute those responsible for the state of this country and the millions of victims created by these crimes.

Now we know, millions know, and now we have to decide what to do about it. But knowledge comes first.
