Under the Bush-Cheney administration, we had the biggest nat`nl economic and vetting security failures in contemporary history, 9/11, and the aftermath of the `05 hurricanes. The highest levels of the government committed witness tampering, document forgery ( recently reported), paid professional and financial kickbacks to colleagues to armtwist agencies, etc to falsely report the neccessity to Congress of offensively invading a country unrelated to 9/11, if that`s even a reasonable tactic. Dignitaries linked to the White House were recognized to have part in the authorized disclosure of a CIA operative and libeling of an ambassador.

There was the Congressionally sanctioned beginning of the ( hopefully ) temporary end of civil liberties and rights, the Patriot Act. And this whole Administration was initiated on state-per-state election results, nationwide, that were mildly put, questionably legitmate, in 2000. Yet, they got away with it all.

Found this op-ed on Obama`s speech.

If finishes with: This may be our last time.

Wrong. Won`t pass this way again? Yes, we will.
This bad? Maybe not. But considering there was supposed to already be an investigation into McCain`s financing, that disappeared from view, we`re getting a nice trailer. Wait for the movie.

Democrats good, Republicans bad. Too simple.

Democrats bad, Republicans so incredibly fucking bad i can’t articulate it. i’m voting for obama instead of nader (and instead of abstaining) just because his winning will piss off scum of the earth walmart execs, coal company officials, and glen beck. i know that obama’s reforms will only delay revolution.

we are doomed regardless of whoever the fuck is in there. one can only hope that the public embraces a socialist-anarchist solution after the collapse, rather than a hiterlesque or salem witch trial response. if this country elects Obama I will have a little more hope that the direction will be positive. if there are still enough people who can be duped by the Palin populism then we are fuck didly ucked.

oh well I’d call the above something along the lines of post-collapse lite. Unfortunately it’ll probably be worse. Much worse, for a very long time.

haha. isn’t funny, don’t know why i laugh. you could be right.

in my wet dream, the collapse will make it clear that centralized governments are out of touch with constituents and thus corruptible; and capitalism is incompatible with environmental protection, social cohesiveness, and even personal happiness. This realization will spur a mass movement for local government, sustainable society, socialized everything, etc. Oh, and to top it off, we will execute the former ruling class. Only if the latter happens will we have justice. If a killer quits killing, it doesn’t mean that he has been brought to justice.

like i say, a wet dream… you are probably right
