1. A passing thought/comment I had while watching KO last night....
Edited on Wed May-26-10 05:52 AM by nc4bo
That there is very little difference between the banking industry's relationship with government and the Big Oil's relationship with government. Are there actually any differences?

We are rotten to the core and every serious effort that's made to correct the problems is met with opposition and delay tactics.

The system is broken and corrupt. It's the status quo that many of our elected officials wish to maintain.

Where's the change?
