Common sense may cry out for a radical new response. But the race toward self-immolation only accelerates because of intellectual and moral paralysis.
A common theme on here as well. Our self-appointed ruling class has lost its moral authority and we will not get true reform until it is foisted upon the corrupt by events beyond their control.
Some people speak to our soul. Hedges consistently speaks to mine with his unvarnished search for truth. A truth that would never see the light of day in Washington politics or the Wall Street Journal or the New York Times or any televised news source. Well, sans the irascible Howard Beale. We do need to dethrone the elite. But I believe that process will ultimately involve them dethroning themselves. Their own avarice will be their undoing. Negotiating for better terms with evil is nothing more than appeasement as we have hammered incessantly. These people who represent none of the values shared by most Americans simply need to go.
There are scant examples of greater evil in the world today than the three-headed cerberus of Wall Street, lobbyists and politicians who guard the gates to hades.
