You had me until the comment about Obama being the candidate chosen by the Eastern Elite. Other than Kuchinich, which of the candidates did not fit that profile? Obama had a tough fight and beat the candidate that the Eastern Elite really wanted from the get go. However I digress, what you are is a revolutionary,,,you can't trust either side, so how about a new party? Forget the Republicans, if you are not in the Halleluya chorus or can't answer every question without 'at the time of conception' in the answer, you have no shot. Your anger is good, now use it to start something that decent republicans and decent democrats can feel comfortable with.

Your outrage comes as the ship sinks. Vote Ralph Nader or don't vote. Democrats and Republicans and all the media, including you, have conspired to keep this nation with only two choices. All fearful that the third choice might upset the apple cart or the house of cards. You made it impossible for the best candidate to run because the only way to raise the money it takes is to pander to those with money. Take their money, take their values, make their decisions. Isn't that the way it's set up? Why would you think your voice of outrage will be heard now. You may have written during the bad times as you say, but also as you say, you watched. Then was the time for action and outrage, not watching. Your outrage and that of other's sounds to me as a whisper. Globally, governments are taking over banks and finances and the people are pawns. The new world order seems to have arrived.

Sir;... mad as hell doesn't cut it any more... The whole mess it falling down faster than anyone can prop it up. Sure there has been injustice, and parties have been a huge part of that. They are extra constitutional. They did not work for England, and they do not work for us. They serve the establisment, and like all forms, they resist change. Change can only be resisted so long as the form works for most of the people in it. But; just as people get divorced out of the form of marriage, we can more easily get a divorce from the form of our government than we can change the form. Some times it is easier to go to zero and see if there is any love left. Maybe if we have been so neatly divided we should be separate states. One state for the homo sexuals. One for the blacks. One for the racists, and nazis. One for the conservatives, one for the liberals, and the rest for everyone else. I don't think it would be long before we would be at war, but at least then we could find our way to peace and union rather that having parties, which are an acceptance of disunion and enmity. The united states is not a union, and it is not a nation. It is supposed to be a common wealth. It is not. It is a state, and one where division is sown to cover the expolitation of the whole by the minority. We have a government -if a pimple on ones nose is a goverment only because it drives one to distraction.... Government should unite us. It should seek our common bond, our common good, and our common humanity. It does not. It carves us up. It is like the horse man who drives spears into a bulls neck to keep him from hooking the matadore. Government holds us unequal in the contest with our profiteers, our bankers, our business people, and corporations. Western society has always put peace before justice, and we see how often the need for justice breaks out into violence and revolution. Once justice is spurned it isnever accepted again. Justice is our goal. Society needs justice. People need justice. Our present forms deny justice, and so deny our needs. We need a new form. We need a form of government and of society that sees this dispirited people has only one quality upon which all can find common cause, and that quality is justice for all....Thanks...Sweeney

Your column states my feelings exactly. It appears the whole world is spinning out of control in every way all of a sudden and there's nothing we can do to stop it. How did we get in this condition! Is there any hope for us? I just wish Mcain would have gotten fired-up last night for once. I have a gut feeling that Obama is a Fraud. Next year will tell the tale.
