Are You Fed Up Yet?
We see the Congress doing their Kabuki Dance everytime the greedheads put cash ahead of safety and cause yet another disaster. The Senators are irate, the perpetrators are visibly shaken, but they all know it's over in a day and life goes on unchanged afterwards.
They know that we the people are bereft of long term memory which basically gives them license to take any risk, spend any amount, tell any lie for the sake of profit. I am certainly not anti-business, but it is plain to see that many of these perpetrators are in bed with our legislators and have a clear sense of immunity.
Congress raked BP over the coals, accusing them of having no plan beyond drilling to protect us from the disaster that occured. The fact is that Congress has no plan to protect us either, never has and never will. Katrina proved that beyond a shadow of a doubt.
There was another huge spill in the Gulf about 30 years ago. Same scenerio as the current spill except the well was much shallower. Same remedies tried and failed, same everything. There have been dozens of smaller leaks since and nothing has been done about it. Nothing. Are you fed up yet?
We have all noticed a movement to vote out all encumbents. That's a move in the right direction. Until we the people take back our power through the right to vote nothing will change.
On Tuesday November 2nd it will be time to take out the trash.
