The American Political process is ruined. Our politicians are bought and paid for by whomever and whatever big money force occupies and runs their particular piece of the state they represent. If it's not the money moguls calling the shots, it's the ideologues with their righteous causes. It's all about power, and isn't that just so American. The fatal flaw of Capitalism has always been the fact that, in the end, everything is for sale. You don't need to fight America to defeat us. You can simply buy the whole damn place, every business, every bit of property beyond our scattering of parks and preserves, and most certainly, our politicians. Maybe we've become so jaded, so accepting of corruption and deceit that it has become commonplace, uninteresting, even bland. If so we are all the worse for it. If not, where is the anger? Where is the outrage? Pay me enough and I'll probably get over it.
