Greetings good citizen, this could be a brief one considering all we have to say [realistically] on the subject is the old truism 'A rich man will never see the inside of a prison cell'.
Any questions?
Okay, we're done here, as you were.
Is something wrong? I think I know what it is, it's that rigid middle finger that keeps getting shoved in your face everytime you object to a 'privileged individual' just walking away from a situation YOU'D get strung up by your short hairs for.
Here's a little reality check: What's the difference between YOU and the President?
Shall we start with the irrelavent notion that you aren't on an equal footing with Congress AND the Supreme Court?
Not that this should buy Bozo any special treatment but it does...for [naturally] all the wrong reasons!
Apparently (and this is mighty screwed up) the 'dignity of the office' supercedes the individual's need for justice.
This is why Banksters weren't prosecuted, nevermind made to admit guilt for their wrong-doing. What would it say about the institution? That bankers are crooks? Banks live and die on their 'reputation'. If people didn't think the bank was 'honest' the bank would have to close!
But no, regardless of who 'runs' the bank, the government has our back! [Until the Bankster sticks it to you again because he KNOWS the government can't afford a 'scandal'.]
What am I pointing to here, good citizen?
You are looking at the Mother of all 'Slippery Slopes'.
Left to your imagination is what was the 'right thing to do' here? Should we have closed the banks, jailed the bankers and wiped out the investors? Or should we 'turn our heads' and pretend like nothing happened?
We know what DID happen and it looks like the criminals got a 'blank check' to commit fraud at will!
But that's not the whole picture, good citizen. Since Morning in America, hundreds of millions of US workers have been defrauded out of their pension funds [remember Enron?] so a few could be rich...
Which is to point out that people in positions of power across the spectrum have abused that power to enrich themselves at the public/workers expense.
And NOTHING has been done about it...because the criminals have been 'generous' with their ill gotten gains, they used them to buy politicians! [While under the mantle of 'deregulation' the media cannibalized itself into one syndicate that reports what it's owners want us to know and ONLY what they want us to know!]
No irony should be lost on the fact that this whole scenario played out on W.'s watch (and exploded on Barry's) but just as conspicuously, neither did anything to stop it...so who's running the show here?
Bad enough the whole electoral process exists as 'window dressing', the illusion of choice, but this is also true of the Justice system. So I ask you good citizen, are you good with just the 'illusion of Justice'?
You know the other side of this good citizen, The police have started 'shooting' unarmed citizens, (sometimes after they have been tased and in a few instances, handcuffed) because they 'feared for their lives and our 'image phobic' judges have turned a blind eye to what this implies.
Is this like where we started, 'same as it ever was'? Or do we find ourselves on that same precipice we have mounted oh so many times before only to keep returning, over and over again?
Why? Dignity of the office and the public trust.
The thing to remember here good citizen is Justice is Justice...there is no 'half a loaf, it's all or nothing.
Nobody (except criminals) wants to live in a world without justice...as I pointed out yesterday, Justice is in our DNA, we'd gladly DIE if it meant justice was being served!
Thanks for letting me inside your head,
