Is anyone of us in the nominal middle really suffering under a delusion that we still have a Representative Republic, not even to mention a Democracy.

Stuff like this keeps coming up and it appears, considering that the big money boys own the ENTIRE system, that there will, in the end, be only one solution.

Has anyone else noticed that China is getting more like us, and we are getting more like China?

That is to say that Russia and a few others are in fact already Oligarchies. China is rapidly combining goverment and big money, coming at it from the opposite side from us, and we are working our way back down to where we were in the 19th century. Pretty soon we will have one great tightly-coupled world organization, of big money guys, by the big money guys, for the big money guys. Except this time it will be worse than the 19th century because of the efficiency of communications and control systems.

Excuse the rant please, but I just am disgusted with what is going on out there. Even the Supreme Court has gone over to the other side.

Seems like everything we do nowadays is divided into two classifications. Things you have to pay the government for and things you get arrested for.

I have spent time looking for a new place for my son to get ahead during his time here and am not happy with the alternatives. But there are some places like we were a 100 years ago, just don't know if they will last that 100 years.
