right.

i said over and over when all the hope and change was being touted not to believe it, that the system wouldn't allow change. i think it's telling that the one group of people who have made money during this economic mess is the politicians.

it seems we have become what we fought against in the 1770's and '80's, with an elite class and then everyone else. i'm reading 'the dreyfus affair' right now-it's horrifying to know that the french army was more intent on protecting itself than admitting it was wrong so that an innocent man could go free...even sunk to forging evidence and letting the real spy off the hook. you couldn't suppose that could happen here, could you? yeah, i could see it-and that's a damn shame.
