sensing a growing change in a America: people are realizing Obama works for da man. he is ushering in an age of goverment control- which was the opposite of the American ideal of liberty, and so on. The government has been run by business interests since its European "founding" a mere 300 some years ago. No need to be illusioned about that. I do believe local governments are better idea. The fight against corruption, greed, self-concern, is always there. people consume others and then themselves. civilizations rise and fall. the will to live is strong, so one must tap into some positive current. the current that allows me to type this and it appear through manipulation of electrical current. the ideal of anything perhaps is never achieved.
