frankly, what I think we're doing here, is documenting the last gasps of democracy. Updated

94. I've had that same thought for a long time.

I sit back and observe what has been happening in my lifetime, and it gets scary. Things are not the same as they were in the '60s or the '70s. I've seen the news media turn into a propaganda organ for the state. They've dumbed down education and eliminated critical thinking.

They've bought off all three branches of the Federal Government completely. Things are even worse at the state level.

I watched them develop crowd control technology and techniques in Iraq, and predicted that they designed that to use on us. Just look at how they crushed the Occupy Movement.

I've seen our current DNC Chair endorse Republicans in Florida. Do I think she would have any qualms undermining any challengers to Clinton? Hell no.

I resigned a position in my county DEC in 2007 when Dems re-took Congress, and continued funding the war they promised to stop. I dropped my party affiliation later when they passed telecom immunity, and a few other outrages. I recently changed back to Dem for the sole purpose of voting for Bernie Sanders, and will work my ass off for him. If he doesn't win the nomination, I'm not voting for another lesser evil.
