I've long been disgusted by this claim that both parties are run by the oligarchy, with the implication being that there's no use in even trying to change things. That is DEFEATIST, and an invitation to just give up, lay down, and die.

Both parties are STRONGLY INFLUENCED by the oligarchy. But not totally. And not irrevocably.

Okay, set your stop-watches. See how long it takes for someone to haughtily and smugly tell me how naive I am.

Naive? Not bloody likely! I've been around awhile and I've SEEN how things CAN be changed when people get up off their butts. It ain't easy, but it's impossible with the attitude that some people are trying to peddle. If you just sigh and say "Let George do it," just remember--George DID it! How do you like it?

Do you know who started the old adage, "You can't fight City Hall?"

City Hall!
