The general public is getting a very raw deal these days. In fact, what is happening right in the face of all of us is the worst kind of strong armed robbery.

What's left to preserve in a system of laws and policies that promote corporate greed, ignore public welfare, promote convenient denial of reality, allow critical issues to go unaddressed, facilitate false public personas, stifle dissent, manipulate markets for special interests, encourage unnecessary material consumption, ignore resource depletion, and I could go on for hours.

You see, it's not just something that needs to be corrected, it's the entire body of law and government policies. I don't believe there's a common vision of who we are as a nation. We have been reduced to continuous political bickering about social differences and abstract minutia.

Is anyone still around who is for real?
