Cognitive dissonance?
There seems to be a lot of confusion. What are Democrats supposed to believe? Do we want free trade to continue? Do we want to save these criminals disguised as "banks"? Do we want to applaud the "capitalist" system? Do we want to continue to support monarchies and kings and queens and such? What should Democrats believe about all the questions above? Should we just change our Party registration to Republican? I think it is very obvious that we need to do some soul-searching.

1. I think we need a public civics course..
so we can all learn how our government is supposed to work, when it's not broken. And then some kind of an information system for current events. Who keeps up with what their representatives are voting for or against? The outrage of the day leads to knee-jerk reactions that have little to do with a particular policy, and are just manufactured side shows. Ah well..there's always the 'next' election.
