Impotent Rage

11. Absolutely. We knew that already in the 70s but instead of enpowering more people we have

been steadily taking the power from the 99% and giving it to the 1%. And that is in almost every aspect of our lives. As I lobbied for progressive values in the past it was much easier to get anyone to listen than it is today. And I think most people feel that way.

Today I call a congressman's office and talk with a staffer who marks my call down as a pro or a con and lays it aside. The most the congressman will know is which side I was on. Even worse with an email. And the polls are ignored even when there are thousands signing them. If I feel this way with my experience imagine what those who do not even try to lobby are feeling. We are a pressure cooker waiting to explode and someday we will. I hope I am not around when that day comes.
