sociopathic exploiters in our midst, seekers of greed and power above all else. I see it as a sickness, a disease. But in America, we have let this cancerous element get out of control. They have made inroads into our vital organs. We can no longer encapsulate them. It is a battle between the sane and the not sane. As you say, between those who see and those who are blinded by self-interest. They have the advantage because they will use any means, no matter how criminal, to control, whereas our side will not.
And now, they have the money to make all their sick dreams come true.

We don't have to go to Beijing to see uncontrolled business interests running roughshod over everybody. This week we witness West Virginians sickened merely by drinking from the public water supply. We are a stoic people but Americans are putting up with too much.

for Sanity to prevail. For people who have Wisdom about the true condition of life in this precarious world to prevail. For people who have the intelligence to imagine a future longer than three years to prevail. For people who really understand that we are in danger of losing everything we ever valued about this country--to take a stand.
