Ack. So Occupy Wall Street is un-American? I respect Cain's right to say that b/c he is entitled to his own opinion but really I have to address this. Un-American? Forming a non violent protest to bring attention to the plight of citizens is really Un-American yeah right. So I guess all those crazy Revolutionaries back in the 1700's were Un-American for protesting unfair tariffs and taxes levied to fill the coffers of the European monarchy.
I must admit I am truly fascinated with this movement. There is an Occupy ----- right next to my bus stop. I see them every night and think "Good for you" Really though I am not nearly brave enough to join them. I support their principle for the action but I don't think they are cohesive enough to bring forward a true movement. But hey if they make one person walking by stop and think about the ridiculous political system we have then in my book they have succeeded.
Speaking of filling coffers I have to give a shout out to the Colbert Report which is shedding some harsh glaring light on fundraising for politicians. Wow really great campaign reform we have in place in the US. You can drive a fucking FLEET of freight trains (do those travel in fleets?) through the loops left to avoid the laws. First it was the PAC -thank you Sarah Palin for bastardizing this beyond belief - now it the is the 501(c)(4) I am seriously disillusioned with our country. The whole fucking thing is insanity. I know I sound liberal and contrite but I don't know of a better way to describe the revulsion inside. We are plummeting down a slippery slope, shit forget slope we are riding a damn avalanche down the side of frickin Mt. Everest.

Okay I am starting to feel sick from thinking about this. Time for a break. BTW in case you haven't noticed I am giving a big middle finger to the man and not using code anymore. I figure they already have all our info anyway so I am probably not fooling anyway. And also I went back to read a post and had NO FUCKING CLUE what I was talking about ha! So once again I have revamped my format. Hey I'm a work in progress - what can I say.
