Wow, where does one begin?  Yet another corporate Bush crony in a government post.  It would seem that Americans would be getting tired of the corporations calling all the shots.  But, not so.  While congress gleefully says it's the "American way" - let the market sort it out; capitalism has supplanted democracy.  We have bought our freedom from the blood of millions of hard working Americans only to sell it out to foreign investors.  And the corporate stooges in Washington are more than willing to sell us out in the name of the almighty dollar (or Amero) by enacting legislation that guarantees that Americans do not have fair trade.

We, as Americans, should be severely pissed off at our own government spending billions of dollars to help support the economies of foreign nations and international corporations.  For example, try buying only American made products.  You'll find that most of what is consumed in this country is made in other countries.  Why is that you ask?  Because congress has created and supported foreign investment and development.  Our own manufacturing markets have all but disappeared.    We truly have become a nation of consumers and not producers.  

The new world wars will be fought on the boardroom table.  Corporations have replaced national governments.  The corporations that control the markets will control the world.  Conner's new appointment is commonplace today in Washington.  The corporations have been placing their stooges in government for a number of years now, heck, they even got a retarded president elected, twice!  

Most times for evil to win it doesn't take a large, horrible event; it just takes a lot of people each doing just a little bad. AOOOOOOooooooooo.........

..became "green" when the ethanol industry suddenly took of and grabbed lots of subsidies with it?

...and which state's former speaker of the house, a part-owner of two corporate "family" farms which receive large crop subsidies suddenly left his job to become commissioner of the state commerce office?

Clue: the same state that was home to ADM's original headquarters: _ _ _ _ e _ _ _ a.

A lot of us are pissed off, but since we've handed over control of "the homeland" to the "patriots" we may not be safe saying so.  Over the past thirty years, the theft of everything from public lands to the broadcast spectrum has gone into the hands of people who believe themselves to be called by the almighty (god or dollar, sometimes hard to tell) to rule over the rest of us.  

And there is no effective opposition party: the logical people for that role themselves identify as elites.  

This country was a wonderful, brave, imperfect idea.  It has always been fragile, and we may not survive as more than a wealthy shell of our former selves unless something is done very quickly: they have used our public lands and air, water, even put poisons into our cells - and now we are buyimg it back from them with our taxes.  We contract with them and their friends for infrastructure ranging from prisons to armies to ethnanol.  Suddenly they are going green?  watch them patent the sun.

We've frittered away our attention on sexual politics and racial division while the very stuff of which the nation is made - its continent and its laws - have been stolen away.
