Angry about CRAZY and Wholly Undemocratic Politics in the U.S. right now or our Dystopian Present

If you (and I) thought that Wisconsin was bad, think again.

Have you heard about the stuff going on in Michigan? If you didn't, you should. Check it out:

In writing, this essay by E.D. Kain in the Forbes Blog: "Michigan Governor Plays Fast and Loose with Democracy, Invokes Radical New Powers;"

In video:


Other crazy stuff:
Missouri wants to eliminate child labor laws.

And... continuing on the depressing subject of corporate America (and the super-rich) detaining all the riches of this country:

E. J. Dionne Jr. of the Washington Post asks "What if we’re not broke?"

And Michael Moore's claim that "400 Americans have more wealth than half of all Americans combined" is proven true by PolitiFact "Truth-O-Meter."

yeah... we don't have to read dystopian fiction classics such as George Orwell's 1984 or Aldous Huxley's Brave New World to see where this country is going. Oh, and don't forget the way they're treating Bradley Manning, it comes right out of 1984, doesn't it?
