American governance is dominated by corporate power, which this election will not change.

The U.S. Congress, corrupted by corporate money, can not undertake principled public service, such as using its constitutional powers to restrain imperial presidents, which this election will not change.

Our nation's resources are being squandered and priceless opportunity lost on a global, corporate controlled American Empire, which this election will not change.

Our laws are ignored and the liberties of the people debased, which this election will not change.

While it is unlikely Obama or McCain or their running mates will be as dreadful as Bush/Cheney, the American Empire will continue to spiral downward, with the fallout from eight years of reckless mismanagement preoccupying the new president, which this election will not change.

For all the vacuous drama generated by corporate media and candidates' promises of "change", this election will decide the fate of personal ambitions and little else, but real change will come, likely unforeseen and unwelcome, as sure as the end of a rolling drum, which this election will not change.

I strive to embody the concepts that I believe in. I strive to continually question what I believe in, and to continue investigating new ideas.

I own a website that sells original T-shirts that I think up and design. The designs and their product descriptions are what I call my "musings from the outskirts of insanity". The name of the website is DreadedThread.com. It is being remodeled and should be done soon. You can still check it out to get a basic idea in the meantime though. ...

So what is your recommendation for proper action?

We both see things as they are, there can be no informed denial of the basis for what you have written.

What are you putting forth as a plan to rectify the situation? We cannot ever give up on working to fix what's wrong.

Money invites power, but disseminated ideas are the currency that retains it. We who see what is going on must use every one of our abilities to disseminate truth and the pathways to it!

To give up on a worthy cause is more shameful than to have never acknowledged and taken it up. We cannot allow a bunch of sociopathic elitists (is that redundant?) to rob our spirit and resolve. We must maintain a resolve that is insolvent, yet infinitely able to adapt!

Didn't someone once say that the time is always right, to do what is right? Now is the time to act. We need to come together and manifest our energies synergistically. I don't claim to have all of the answers, but I do know that we need to act. I have written a document that is at least an attempt to facilitate needed change. I hope you will read it and give me your feedback on it - no matter what your take is. www.simplyamericanpride.org

Everyone on this great website is a concerned patriot. What we need to do is come together for a single cause, so that all of our energies can be maximized. If you aren't digging my attempt, let me know and let's formulate a better plan. I'm all ears.
