Not only is fascism here, but it seems that everyone and their grandmother, wants to have more and more of your money. EVERYTHING is all about money these days. Everyone is trying to sell something, or themselves for the sacred buck. It's such a sorry state, I just want to find another planet to live on.
Nobody wants to share, they just want more.
I hope that the occupy movement, which has woke many people up, can stave this tide of fascism, and greediness.
