I didn't vote for Goldman Sachs and AIG to run our financial system
and I didn't vote to let war criminals go. I voted for Obama to get out of Iraq, to hold criminals accountable, to fix our broken for-profit health care system, to re-regulate our economy and put people in office who will actually get these things done.

None of what I voted for is happening and the U.S.. I know I'm supposed to "give it time" so I will. After 2 more years of getting lied to, ripped off and watching the U.S. become even more corrupt, I'll be able to look back and say "see, I told ya".

Guess what, we're still all screwed.

4. It's a very strange place called The United States of America
In it, they fought for independence from religious and financial oppressors and created a form of gov't that represented the people and called it "democracy". A system of laws were established that protected the people, dating all the way back to the Magna Carta in 1215.

11. Ditto, but I could see a lot of it coming.
Doesn't mean I'm going to keep my mouth shut about it, though.

15. so this is where you look
toward what you believe to have value and that comes down to family and friends or community. Live as though this is your last day and cherish all that you hold dear. Of course we must fight the good fight...if we don't, we get *cos...but being an activist takes a toll, so don't forget what it is all about and keep your heart there. And yes of course we are screwn.
