We're a year of from the election and I'm already weary. I thought the last election was bad, but nothing beats this year. Well, nothing in my lifetime. At least when Reagan ran he promised hope but sowed deception. This year, the candidates are skipping the first half and just promoting deception as policy. Really, which GOP candidate has been honest? The level of vitriol and outright lying is appalling.

A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.

Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich
