| 26691 | 330 | OIL ON THE BEACH | 13 | skeeter | Jun 3, 2010 | 2010-06-03T01:12:23-0400 | this is but one example of government and industry coming home to roost, as a result of their cozy relationship over the past 50+ years, even before. our government is an extension of the corporate boardroom, so all of them- repubs, dems, whatever president, you name them, are beholden to their corporate benefactors, march to their drumming, play golf with them, take their phone calls and pass their laws. our entire electorate is rigged so the slate of candidates the people get to elect are already bought and paid for. plain and simple. the RNC and DNC use gang tactics to vet all their candidates, even down to the local level, for chrissakes. all those congressional testimonies of senators asking "tough" questions of their CEO criminal chums, in front of the public cameras, is laughable posing, a page from their old boy fake book. taxpayers get to fund their "investigations" which lead nowhere. unfortunately, this kind of shit is going to continue, until the people suffer enough, and finally get up off their barcoloungers and shut off the goddam TV, and hit the streets. like my father said, "you can do this the easy way, or the hard way", and the way things seem to be going, it's gonna be the hard way. otherwise, there won't be anything left for our children, their children, and their children after that. |
