A vent about soldiers and cheap words

we shouldnt dabble so much with the middle men as go for the ones who put them in power...the corperate "assholes" (implicating individuals not institutions) who are responsible for placing them there. Change them and change the world.

It's a nice idea, but without someone leading the corporation, you don't have a viable business. Just ask the Soviets how that worked out for them. You change them, or take them out, and who runs the corporations? The government? How is THAT an improvement?

To find out which corperate assholes we need transparency in who pays to place the politicans in power, which means all of the books of every single politically contributing corperation and its CEO's etc and the books of the politicans themselves should be 100% transparent to the public in every regard period. Keep them that way and a lot of things will change for the better.

Now this I can go along with. All aspects of politics should be transparent. After all, they are supposed to be representing us, the people.

they tried that in Kalifornia, oult here on the left coast. in the 70's they publicly passed a law for openness and disclosure, much to the joy of the citizens, then quietly went around and passed exceptions for themselves (politicians, and their doners). no outcry from the media, since most of the doners in CA for the left leaning politicians, are supporters of the left. Had they been conservitave there would have been a never ending front page outcry, for years if necessary. Politicians want a standard for themselves and a different standard for those who disagree with them, and the people who elect them. I guess that's one of the reasons I so love the conservative media we are seeing today. It did not exist at all when I was growing up, and now, whether you agree with them or not, most people admitt that it is good to have a discourse in politics. Another reason I love the Blog Sphere so much. Everything is out there, and no one party or ideology can control it, like the media was controlled by the left when I was young.
