18. One cannot serve two masters.

Feb 2015

Most of the democratic party is on the same gravy train the repubs are on. The dems throw us a few more crumbs, but the train is still barreling in the same direction. A bought out media is a huge part of the problem. Network/cable news is a joke. I don't know how we fix the system when the ones who can fix it benefit from the status quo.

It's a mess.
