And therein lies our problem. Half of this country doesn't feel they bear any responsibility for the actions of the other half. Even though they themselves, by investing in corporations, do more to advance the desires of neoconservatives and the calls for war and hostility than those unattached to Wall St.

They say "Oh, I voted for Democrats." All the while hiding the fact they have funded and strengthened the multi-national corporations killing our democracy, killing our elections and just plain killing for money.

Until they individually decide to take the mantle of democracy for all seriously, we will always live in oligarchy.
