Where's the Outrage?
As Bernie Madoff sits in his apartment. As the banks take hundreds of billions to cover their mistakes As CEO's guide companies into failure and get millions in bonuses As Congress gives away 750B after six days of discussion As we went to war on the basis of lies As the failed economy puts Americans on the edge of despair As no one ever goes to jail for their crimes As bankers and brokers speculated to drive oil to $150bbl As 40,000 lobbyists buy the government for the Corporations As every regulative body has failed in it's trust As the President failed to abide his Oath of Office As the Supreme Court turned to Political decisions As the Constitution is ignored As our children face a life of debt
Where's the outrage?
Americans are like puppy dogs who follow the pack leader, yip yapping all the way, but with an attention span of only seconds or minutes. A psyche that that allow others to guide thoughts and divert intentions to the latest entertainment scandals.
Three hundred million followers who have lost the ability to be angry.
Three hundred million, too laid back to take direct action.
Three hundred million, inured to insult.
Three hundred million, slaves to lies propagated by 1% of their number.
Three hundred million who forgot what it was like to feel the power of their own numbers.
Three hundred million who would never consider repeating the outrage of December 16, 1773.
That's my opinion!
Life is Good!
