6. We are in a deplorable place in th US right now when people are too lazy to research

and they are almost totally dependent on a media with one specific agenda... That agenda is to advance a two class system of the aristocracy and a repressed working class. There are no Walter Winchells, or Edward R Murrows, or even David Brinkleys anymore.

Instead, we have Fox News, NPR, the M$M, right wing radio. On the "most balanced" side of the matter, we have one part time cable channel, MSNBC,which really serves it's corporate masters because it does fill a niche and brings in some advertising money.

The move to fascism (corporate controlled government) is well on it's way in this country. The aristocratic neocons knew this a long time ago and have played it to the hilt. To be brutally honest, it is probably already too late to change the course of this snowballing effect before we are just brutally beaten into submission but the longer we wait, the more difficult it will be.

Sorry to be so negative, but it's time to grab the bull by the tail and face the situation in this country. The best thing we have going for us right now is our "part time progressive" President who is running out of time as well.
