11. A nutcase vs. a necon corporate puppet...

Thu Sep 11, 2014, 08:52 AM

Sep 2014

Tough choices you have.

It seems like only yesterday when my American History teacher in Kansas bragged to me about the superiority of the American "democracy" by equating in with commie Russia:

Commie A or commie B.

And then the American government teacher went on bashing our own social democratic system with many parties.

It seems that you are living under the illusion of democracy:

Wall Street Neocon A or Wall Street Neocon B obeying the same puppet masters.

In the meantime, you get all the cheap stuff you want at Wall Mart produced by sweat shop workers in Chine, sold by people on minimum wage and food stamps!

Should I as a Norwegian somehow be jealous and wanting to move over to "the Land of the Free" under those conditions? And you couldn't pop one 3rd option out of a pool of 300 million people?

Nah. I'd take a trip and witness the freak show first hand though...
Or in historical terms: The Weimar Republic of America...
