In one of his books, Kurt Vonnegut says that the dark ages never ended; we're in the middle of them right now. I've always been influenced by his nihilistic views of our world. (I actually should have his name at the top of my favorite book list)
Reading in the paper today that W just bypassed congress to ensure that "faith based" organizations receive funds from the government cracks me up.
I wonder how many years it's going to take to just do away with this whole illusion of checks and balances...
Let's get it over with right now and declare the New and Improved New World Order. If your corporation (all the benefits of citizenship with none of the responsibility) can afford a place in the top 1%, welcome to Washington. If not, or if you're one of the little people, bow before your new leaders.
Don't feel too bad. You can still buy your shiny toys and fancy pantys (if you live here). Of course they will all be made somewhere else by slaves.
