(792 posts)corporations as they have for decades. I understand what you are saying but I don't know a single young person who is anti-abortion or anti-gay marriage and I just believe that continued progress socially is inevitable and that economic progress is unlikely under status quo politicians.
On a personal level, I am a white male who is quite dark skinned (7/8 caucasian 1/8 japaneese- don't look japaneese at all people have no idea what race I am) and has a rather unique perspective on race. I have most certainly been discriminated against but stealthy enough to be present when old lily white America spoke decades ago. Though I am poor, I have everything I want in life and am very happy except for Corporations controlling our political process. I want the very best for all people, especially the vulnerable, the weak the powerless the discriminated against etc. Maybe I have a different way of going about it than you do. I just was inspired by Sanders LU speech and the Pope's visit and it led to an admitedly outside the box idea. Peace to you regardless of what you think of me.
