Thus is the culture of enabling malfeasance and "pushing the envelope" now damaging all of the people of this great nation in many ways , large and small. "It's just business?" Well corporations were never and will never be people and the republican wet dream of an American version of fascism is closer at hand than ever.

Many of the tools previously used to rein in such corporate excess have been legislated away. So all we've got left is the ballot and the obligation to get good information out there, so people who are swayed by the facile grifting republicans and conservatives engage in, can be educated? Is it even possible to negate the rampant disinformation? Neuter it perhaps?

I have some heat for the democrats as an organization too. There seems to be a cadre of 5-7 democratic lawmakers who pay lip service to "the good" but very slyly pull their punches. They'd be OK with fascism, as long as they keep their positions, their money and access to power. The rest of us can go to hell! And the DNC operates with full knowledge of whom they are and of course, the DNC is not above engaging in their own brand of chicanery!

That's how it appears from my narrow perch.

I so love being an infinitesimal help in rattling these cages with you. Think maybe Schlapp is humping corporate legs and is protesting too much?
