Just sickening. "Emergency Manager" in Detroit caused blackout during heatwave to teach a lesson....

176. That's why I call G.A.S. 1% media. They don't see our lives from their lofty position on the clouds.

We're invisible to them, but they are there to distract us from what we're losing, along with so many other shiny things to keep us busy.

Our right to our bodies, to love who we choose, to work and get education to improve our lot, to have healthcare, housing, air and water, and to vote, are neglible, never discussed.

They gloss over our needs with the big terrors, war, spying, to catch our eyes, but do nothing to make peace worth having. So they obviously don't have to fight for such needs as the rest of us lesser folks here on the ground.

I don't begrudge them their exalted positions in our world system, where they have the ear of media and governments, travel about to have adventures with the freedom that only great wealth affords, then pull us into their version of an Anna Nicole Smith marathon with all the perfect teasers.

But I won't exalt them until they really begin to speak for me and those I care about. They never talk about what makes my life better, me, a plebian.

Obama does that, and no matter how hard they try to paint him the villain and themselves the heroes of all mankind, I'm not buying what they sell.

JMHO.
