I care what GfS thinks about the issue. I don't always appreciate the way he says it, but I read his ideas as I do everyone else's. My read is that he's completely fed up with the two-party system, and that seems to be what OWS is saying, although perhaps not in such abrupt statements.

Wall Street has managed to shill for the bankers under their various guises, and Washington appears to be working at Wall Street's behest.

The personal animosities which sometimes flare into brief but heated retorts do little to forward any exchange of ideas, and that could certainly use some change--well, maybe lots of change. I sometimes get fed up with it, but what's a guy to do? Y'all don't like each other, ya don't like each other.

Little Hawk has never made a secret of his fed-upped-ness because we live with something similar in Canada. Gradually--I hope and pray--that's coming to an end, but I don't know whether we'll go bust with the US or live long enough to change a few things. (We presently have more restrictive banking laws than the US. Harper is doing what he can to turn us into the 51st state, but we'll burn the capital before that happens.)

Anyway, I am nursing a bitchin' headache, so I'll leave you until my head explodes or feels better, because this thread IS Excedrin headache #92.
