National Journal reports: Things are bad out in Real America

40. This is the real issue...

... facing our society. 30 years ago, Corporate interests set about a plan to drown the government in a bathtub, and then resurrect it as a slow witted, brainless zombie to do their bidding. It worked beautifully. So beautifully, in fact, that they used the same model to create a media zombie that is assigned the job of keeping us misinformed enough to refrain from rising up and killing the government zombie.

It is all about power and money - pure and simple. And they have enough of it that they write the agenda - so no matter how aware some of us become now, I fear it is too late. I don't see how the momentum can be reversed. I really think we may be seeing the end of the American way of life. I'm not sure what we'll turn into, but its gonna look a lot different from the America most of us grew up in.
