Okay, I'll feed the troll.

Okay, GUEST, you say "Wake up!" Okay, I'm fully awake.

In my opinion, George W. Bush and his cronies are a bunch of weasels--some of the finest politicians that money can buy--and this country and vast portions of the world are pretty much dominated by multi-national corporations. Here and there, there are small pockets where things are fairly nice, and people are secure and happy, such as the Scandinavian countries (Oh, dear! But they're socialistic!). But in the main, the whole damned globe is run by venal, greedy people who will gladly sell you their grandmother for a couple of bucks and deliver! All over vast portions of the world, the chasm between wealth and want grows wider, and the leaders of some countries are willing to obliterate the populations of other countries to see that the widening of that gulf continues. And all this time, they have no qualms whatsoever about lying to and manipulating their constituents. You're right about a lot of things. I'll stipulate that.

I am as politically active as I am able: I write letters, I make phone calls, I talk to people, I go to meetings, I belong to a couple of peace organizations, and I vote when given the opportunity. SO--what is it, beyond this, that you want me to do? Tell me. I'm waiting.
