    Goldman Sachs owns you. What are you going to do about it? -- Steele The First

    I've explained the only possible response. My question is the same to you. Do you think bitching on Salon is going to solve something? Mr. Greenwald does a great job of explaining the reality of what were facing but if we don't take matters into our own hands we are just as culpable as those who insist on enslaving us. Just for a moment, accept that our representation is bought and paid for, Obama is better than McCain but otherwise just as bought. We can't fight our own military or swat teams. Just WTF do YOU think we can do?
