Mr Moore's diatribe is not policy, but a wish list.

He may as well have addressed it to Mr Claus.

Look at this fron Tia....
1) Money out of politics
2) Reinstate Glass-Steagall
3) Close the loophole that lets congresspeople make investments based on insider information"

Commendable, but does anyone think that addresses the problems facing Western society?....Grow up guys!

Steinbeck understood the problem 80 years ago, the only surprising thing is that this system has survived so long on robbery and exploitation.

"The bank — the monster has to have profits all the time. It can't wait. It'll die. No, taxes go on. When the monster stops growing, it dies. It can't stay one size....." "It's not us, it's the bank. The bank isn't like a man. Or an owner with 50,000 acres, he isn't like a man either. That's the monster...."(The "bank" has now become the Global Capilalist System)

Yes, "the monster" is dying....thank God, but it will only stay that way, if we unite and "stand over its grave...'till we're sure that its dead"(Dylan)
