This kind of thing makes me ill. No economic/political system can succeed based on corruption or incompetence.

Millions march for abortion rights. Millions march to end these wars. Millions said NO to the bailouts.

All fall on deaf ears.

Yeah, it appears to me that our politicians are pretty damn confident that they don't have to listen to us or be afraid of being booted out of their jobs at election time.

I can't imagine why.

I remember before Dubya was re-elected and the head of Diebold(?) (a Republican) said publicly that he would deliver the election to Bush. Of course, the "Right" said he was just joking. I didn't find it funny at all. Actually, I think that clip is also in this documentary? Or one similar.

I won't hold my breath. Yet.
