We, Most of All, Need to Get Out the VOTE!!

(Excerpt) The (Political) system is flawed because Big $ controls it!

Orwell's "Newspeak" and "Doublethink" are in full operation.

Get out the Vote, people!! If it didn't matter, these bastards wouldn't be trying soooo fucking hard to suppress it!! And they will stop at nothing!!!

Here is a nice piece with Paul Kurgman's wife, she talks about how the rich consider themselves to be apart from the rest of us, there is evidence that we have changed as a species over just a few thousand years, we could become two different "peoples' the working class which have a conscious and the 1% which is mostly sociopaths.
