The sooner we face the truth, the better. When we are finally able to digest the fact we have lost the vote, it will become obvious that we have to take a page from the Greens and concentrate on the corporations. If and when the sleeping giant wakes, we have to make damn sure John and Jane Q. Public know who to blame. We need to channel that energy, and we better start now. But I’m betting that on that fateful day, Dems and Rethugs will be able to agree on one very important thing: big money is behind all of it.
We need to take to heart the Cree prophecy sent to me by a new Green friend:
Only after the last tree has been cut down Only after the last river has been poisoned Only after the last fish has been caught Then you will find out that money cannot be eaten
