  Politics ???

  In the USA we once had a government of the people; but the current situation is largely ignoring the people.  Big business is paying big money to influence the government.  Further, big business has taken control over the major news media to insure that the public is kept in the dark about issues that would go against their financial well-being.  Politicians like the feeling of power and being connected to the wealthy and powerful is part of that feeling.  The Republican party line is what is good for big business is good for the nation.  By "good" their measure is based on profit and economic growth.  This president represents the extreme of this focus - war is an opportunity to make big money (for the military/industrial complex).

  Some Democrats have made statements that lead me to believe that candidate recognizes this condition and will do what is needed instead of what the rich and powerful want.  That is a person I will vote for.  I hear nothing from any Republican candidate that leads me to believe they will do anything but maintain the status-quo.

  The media will not even acknowledge that there is any politics other than Republican and Democrat.

  Good for Google

  I am usually against big companies because I stereotype them as only caring about profit.  In this case I am wrong.  I really hope their initiative will bring an end to big coal and oil companies.

  I also suggest that if their effort succeeds they could make even grater profits from their investments.On Google funds R&D to make clean energy cheaper than coal posted 1 year, 11 months ago 6 Responses
