The question I pose: [View all]

With the retirements, the firings, the resignations, the discombulations to what we've all learned to manage, be enough to unsettle the great population to wake up? Will troubadour Sprinsteen alert the idlers to listen to the discord?
Or will it take catastrophe to waken Americans to face the fact that everyday events, do affect them?
Why aren't our leaders showing trepidation?
Probably the same reason why the oligarchs are ripping us off. We have given them forgiveness, the opiate of the masses.
Jesus, what a mistake.
