The fact is....washington/politicians ARE responsible for the things that these whackjobs do....even if it is indirectly. As few have said here; this country's managers need to smarten the fuck up. I guess no one got the message on 9/11....besides being absolutely looney tunes, those terrorists said they don't like the way we live and conduct ourselves. You could extrapolate that into meaning that this country needs to wise up government-wise. Loughner talked about 'centrism'. MOst people here, and in the country do not realize the mind fucking washington does to us. They preach bi-partisanship, but deep inside they thrive on division. They flourish in a society where there are two or more 'factions' i.e. parties...The common folk think they are voting issues, and philosophies...when in effect, both parties are really quite the same....it is a false sense of governing. They get paid hellacious amounts of money to stand in front of a podium and defer the remaining time to the distinguished senator from Wyoming. And making back room deals: You vote yes on the Health care bill, and I'll vote on
your State Highway Bill. Meanwhile, a secret group of soldiers that nobody knows about is washing up on shore of some third world country, waiting to whack a potential leader - because if he would have gotten in - we wouldn't have this great deal on microchips....or whatever. Ask yourself why we haven't invaded Korea. The Sudan? Iran? Ceasescu? And why we chose to invade Iraq? You really think Desert Storm/Shield was really to aid Kuwait? Yeah, if aiding means safeguarding our oil interests.....
