Racism
I visited with my folks recently and was shocked at their racist remarks about The President and The First Lady. What came out of their mouth was so crude and beyond comprehension that I felt such shame to be their son. It was painful and sad. There is still a generation or two that are hanging on to 1950's mentality. I never want to go visit my parents again.

"This is going to be such an interesting election"
No. It isn't
People across the globe (should have) have been totally disenfranchised with the whole political system, from the ground up, for the last half century.
For good reasons.
Even if Ron wins, what does anyone think he can realistically change about the rotten system?
The system isn't rotten just in the US, it is rotten nearly everywhere.
Today, the corporation of London is seeking 'new police powers' to enable the forced removal of protestors at St. Pauls.
Not the mayor (an elected official), not the MP (an elected official), not the PM (a sort of elected official), but a private corporation.
I mean, if that doesn't expose the rot (corporate ownership of swathes of countries and cities) for all to see, what does?
So many people misunderstand what fascism is. It is not Hitler. It is not the Nazis. It is simply corporate power usurping government and with that, law itself.
So many do not understand what anarchy really is. It is not chaos, nor is it thuggery and vandalism. It is simply removal of rotten power structures and the dictatorial (and might I add, corrupt) monarchies.
It's really not in the hands of politicians to enact change.
Obama promised change, did he not?
All he has done so far is maintain the status quo on so many key manifesto promises, and the withdrawal of US troops from Iraq was already signed up by Bush for the end of this year long before Obama announced it.
It is a trick. It has happened so many times. A new hope is brought forth to re-energize peoples belief in the system, then they are let down after all the effort of ticking a new box. Usually the let down is actually a worse outcome than the last puppet.
Have I given up on politics the way it is served to us? Yes.
And so should you

Quote of the Day
The Authoritarian Follower believes that those in authority have the right to live by their own rules, and lying, cheating, stealing and murder in high places can thus be tolerated with a shrug of the shoulders. They will also willingly engage themselves in the same lying, cheating, stealing and murder if it is presented to them as necessary to protect their status quo.
