What's Right And Good Doesn't

Capitalism Is Out Of Control, Thanks In No Small Part To Citizens United, The Supreme Court Decision Which Said That A Corporation Is A Person, Even Though It Doesn't Eat, Drink, Make Love, Sing, Raise Children Or Take Care Of Aging Parents. You Can't Have A People's Democracy As Long As Corporations Are Considered People.

Conservatism Is Less A Set Of Ideas Than It Is A Pathological Distemper, A Militant Anger Over The Fact That The Universe Is Not Closed And Life Is Not Static.

You Can't Have A People's Democracy As Long As Corporations Are Considered People.

The Supreme Court Consistently Favors Organized Money And The Political Privileges Of The Corporate Class. We Have A Senate That Is More Responsive To Affluent Constituents Than To Middle-class Constituents, While The Opinions Of Constituents In The Bottom Third Of Income Distribution Have No Apparent Effect At All On The Senate's Roll Call Votes.

Unless You're Willing To Fight And Refight The Same Battles Until You Go Blue In The Face, Drive The People You Work With Nuts Going Over Every Detail To Make Certain You've Got It Right, And Then Take Hit After Unfair Hit Accusing You Of Bias, There's No Use Even Trying. You Have To Love It, And I Do. You Just Hope It Strikes A Spark Somewhere In The Critical Mass Of Public Opinion And Helps Some People To Resist Further The Seductions Of Political And Corporate Advertising.
