It will come as no surprise to some of you, but I am totally tired of the dismissive attempt to attribute all the power to "**The Oligarchy**".
Yeah... I know that business interests and various related abstract entities DO strive to influence elections and events to their advantage, but it is crap ..ummm... nonsense to just wave your arms and blithely state that 'they' control everything and we poor peons can do little or nothing about it!
   That is barely one step below suggesting that Jewish bankers run the world.
   It IS a lot of work for the mass of average citizens to read and think & listen and VOTE... but they CAN if they try!
