I am an activist, and green party member.
I run 911review.org
The rich are getting filthy and the poor are getting desperate.
655,000 Iraqis are dead because of Neo-Cons wanting to control OIL, the Mid-East, and $ from war profiteering.
9/11 was an inside job, at least they helped it along.
it was the pretext for WAR.
it was planned before 2001
So much for my rant.

America is close to being a 3rd world country when it comes to class and wealth.
My take:
Americans (mostly republican) constantly brag about how we are the BEST at everything, the problem is that we are not.
Its time we faced facts and started actually DOING something about it, instead of hiding our head in the sand not wanting to believe it.
If you talk to most republicans, they will DENY that our educational system isnt the BEST, instead of realizing it, and wanting to gdo something about it.
Fighting the truth gets us no-where.
Our educational system is comparatively marginal at best.
Our health care system hardly gives any help at all to low income people.
Our prison system is VERY overcrowded, and we have more people in jail per-capita than any other country on earth.
We spend 288,000,000 a DAY on the war in Iraq.
Army "deserters" are up over 80%
Our military is stretched to far in case we need them for a REAL threat,
OR, a natural disaster.
More Arabs and Muslims hate us than they did 5 years ago.
1 million Iraqis are dead.
We have lost many of our civil rights.
We are being spied on (probably right now)
We havent invested (fast enough) on clean renewable energy.
Oil prices can bring this country to its KNEES,
and nothing is being done about it.
Global warming threatens our future, and not only are we EXTREMELY unprepared, but some people actually believe its not a threat.
We trot along in our daily lives with memories of "Leave it to Beaver",
thinking that our world will not change as long as we follow goos Christian morals and defend our country from the "terrerasts".
We dont realize that 1 of 100 things could put a damper on our dreams, like the Yellowstone caldera blowing and destroying 80% of our country.
Not only is our military not here, or prepared to help us, but we are not prepared for it physically, OR mentally.
What if we go to war with Iran, the biggest Saudi refinery blows up,
and send oil prices to 15$ or $20 a gallon ?
With $20 a gallon gas, the country WILL shut down as we know it.
Food prices would soar, companies would shut down, people couldnt leave their homes, the Gov would have food lines, there would be martial law, and all chaos would break out.
We are already in a class warfare, and only 1 side is waging the war.
Most of us are totally complacent thinking that as long as our daily lives are not too disrupted, like loosing cable TV, or our cell phone, that our Government is taking care of us.
But what if its not ?
If some major change happens, and its very possible, it could throw this class "warfare" in a spin, leaving only the top 1% of the country able to live comfortably.
I read a report the other day saying the 1/2 of all the BEES in the U.S. have died.
If not stopped, this could leave no fruits or vegetables in our grocery stores, and could have much farther reaching implications.
This is one small example, but MANY things could happen.
Our society is very fragile, and we need to realize this and prepare for it.
Spending 288 million dollars a day on an illegal war isnt helping much.
Its time we stop bragging about how good we are,
and start ACTUALLY DOING something about it.

Deregulating the Dream
No natural disaster has hit the American middle class, scholars and activists who gathered in North Carolina last week agree, just a series of political decisions that have privileged the powerful.
Just 1 percent of Americans currently hold about half the financial wealth of the entire United States.
