Yes, we are all responsible to some degree, but to paraphrase George Orwell, Some are more guilty than others. Since Reagan, the US has been run by and for the benefit of the Corpocracy. Even before that, have a looksee how American Fruit ran our foreign policy and military/intelligence apparatus vis a vis South America. Both Bushes and all their cronies were oil people. Even Obama was willing to go back on his promise to disallow drilling in the gulf to appease Big Oil. People love to prattle on about democracy and how we have the franchise of the vote, but when you lift the cover of things, money always talks and big money talks loudest. I can't personally do anything about this state of affairs, it's pretty much been that way since we climbed out of the trees.All I can do, on a personal level is: LIVE SIMPLY THAT OTHERS MAY SIMPLY LIVE.</blockquote>
