Are we living in Russia?

Might as well be. Democracy int eh USA is somewhat of a ruse really.
Someone picks the ponies for the ballot, you vote in the rigged game.
Romney, Perry, old boys golden handshake types. Money-power in the back
room knows 0bama is cooked. So the back room wins either way.

Police are not about justice. They are about keeping the peace to
maximize the take from the herd. Disabled or vet, no voice. Worker,
owned by the government.

And you might wish you lived in Russia, compared to the USA they are
doing quite well. Not as much bailout and corruption casing economic
troubles. Government even backs up business when Europe tries to welsh
on paying for natural gas. If Europe countries try to welsh, government
OKs urning off the taps. Debt welshers don't get away with much.
