21. Just who's Party did you think you were a part of little people?

Aug 2012

This is the party of the 1%, the corporations, lawyers and lobbyists the control.

Now shut up, sit down and do what you're damn well told.

Just who do "you people" think you are?

I'm reminded of the words a famous military strategist once said: "When your enemies are killing each other, don't intervene, unless it's to give them both a bigger shovel."
