Voice Of Hannity,
The rise of conservative hubris, arrogance, power and greed, as sanctioned by recent smirking gangs of American high elected officials, has conspired to put us where we are now. Those traits are inherent on the face of capitalism too I think. The old time labor movement knew that. That is why Reagan, first, killed the Air Traffic Controllers strike--a weak white collar and easily cowed union--to teach labor the lesson that their movement was moribund. The unions have been dismantled ever since by Republicans and some Democrats as well. Recent economic events are proving that the I.W.W. preamble had more truth to it than not. (Bosses and workers have little or nothing in common.)-- When the actions of the powerful conspire to rip the means of making a living from so many people, the anger is sometimes not logical in how it is expressed. These hurting people are seeing the ways of providing for loved ones simply evaporating around them. They SNAPPED, and did terrible things. Of course it is terrible and outrageously sad -- that is obvious---and I feel horribly saddened for the murdered victims and their loved ones.

Yes, I am hurt terribly be these horrible acts, but I need to invoke that paradox--yin/yang--every coin being 2-sided analogy I've used before. Many who committed these acts, thought their lives and their families lives were over after corporate America and Wall Street ran an airplane full of fuel into their mortgaged houses -- and also their fantasies of the American dream.

I do hope that this makes more sense to you than my other post seemed to. ---The out-of-control dynamics which are making our present catastrophe thrive so easily in our institutions because the economic system allows them to grow, morph, and become mutated. In time they have come to look like Bernie Madoff, Bush, Cheney, Enron, Arthur Andersen, AIG, pharmaceutical companies and ALL the blatant corporations that perpetuate the amassing of insane profits and holdings while making life absolutely impossible for those at the other end of the perverted and obscene bell curve of world-wide wealth distribution.
