Thread: DOD sells sensitive military equipment

I think everything is longer and worse than we thought.

This is the last two paragraphs from an article (1999) I ran into last night. It is worth the read since it explains when it all actually started. It would appear some loose cannon judge ruled on a case and either knowingly or unknowingly shifted corporations from entities to the equivalent of human beings with all the rights that endows... including the Bill of Rights.

We, the people, have lost control. Corporations, these legal fictions that we ourselves created two centuries ago, now have more rights, freedoms and powers than we do. And we accept this as the normal state of affairs. We go to corporations on our knees. Please do the right thing, we plead. Please don't cut down any more ancient forests. Please don't pollute any more lakes and rivers (but please don't move your factories and jobs offshore either). Please don't use pornographic images to sell fashion to my kids. Please don't play governments off against each other to get a better deal. We've spent so much time bowed down in deference, we've forgotten how to stand up straight.

The unofficial history of America™, which continues to be written, is not a story of rugged individualism and heroic personal sacrifice in the pursuit of a dream. It is a story of democracy derailed, of a revolutionary spirit suppressed, and of a once-proud people reduced to servitude.

After two centuries how are we ever going to change anything in one election? Besides I am firmly convinced unless we go back to paper ballets we are lost. Okay fine YES I am depressed. It is hard not to be when you wake up one morning and realize you walked through Alice's mirror and all that you thought was ISN'T!

One election can make a difference if we get enough of the traitors out and people who are dedicated to following the constitution back in.

Wow is that a great description of how, probably most of us have felt when we first become aware of this issue. We shake our heads, try to deny the reality...but then realize...it is what it is.

Please remember, there weren't many patriots, numerically speaking, fighting the British. Just enough folk, who were determined enough, never gave up, and kept picking themselves up, determined to win.

They did.
