    So, how do we make them honest?

    I am waiting for members of the Bush administration to bear witness and consequences for their crimes. Not much of a rumble from the media about doing that. Or from the President-elect.

    So really, how do we, the people, get the corporate NYTimes and all the others to tell it true?

    The votes we cast seem to be but an autumnal tradition that has followed many years of letters,emails,calls,protests...majorly ignored by the Congress and the media.

    So what is it that we can do?
