75. I'm tired playing hypotheticals
maybe some did not pay attention to why we are in this mess. It seems that a majority of Americans just love being constantly ripped off. Remember the S&L debacle-did you know that it was monetarily one of the worst rips offs in history. With deregulation and junk bond nonsense they ripped us off--and we are still paying for that con job today. You remember the Iran-Contra BCCI deal? Did you know that BCCI is a Pakistani created bank that apparently has been investigated for drug and terrorist money laundering. Did you know that drugs were put on our streets by an element of our own government? Three journalists are dead attempting to bring the truth to the american public. Where's the outrage? And some who were involved in that clandestine deal were working for this administration, some are spouted as bonafide heroes (Ollie North). With every corrupt action that goes unpunished, it signals those that perpetrate such wrongful actions, can do so with out consequences, thus they become more brazen.

I am for someone, anyone who will finally bring real investigations into the total corrupt network that has had carte blanche working in this country--at the detriment of the American people. Tell me--Are there any takers? Will it still be business as usual, while we as frogs slowly boil in a huge pot!

I'm tired of being fed by a corporate media who attempts to influence the masses on who their next nominee will be . I remember my dad telling me years ago about the media, when our local paper appeared to favor one democratic candidate over another--I told my dad it looks like the paper is really going for democratic, he said no, just wait and watch, they want this candidate to run against the republican because the paper thinks this democrat will lose to their chosen candidate. Sure enough, the paper came out and endorsed the republican after the primary. So, who has the cajones to get us out of this mess? At this point, I don't know.:shrug:
