(39,909 posts)and your assessment supplied much of our motivation for moving to the Woods and growing our own food in 2006,
the prospects for the future aren't quite as gloomy as you suggest.
There IS some hope.
Our neighbors in Latin America have given us a Blue Print for "change".
Over the last 10 years, many Latin American countries have taken their governments from the hands of the Global 1%,
and redirected their nation's wealth to improving the living & working conditions of their 99%. They have achieved near bloodless Ballot Box Revolutions.
That CAN happen here too,
as soon as America's Working Class & Poor realize we have more in common with each other than we have in common with our ruling 1% elite and their Mouth Pieces in Washington. The "favorability" ratings of Congress indicates that more Americans are waking up to that fact every day.
Spread the WORD.
VIVA Democracy!
I pray we get some here soon.
