Quote from GermanTrader:
jprad,
I have no doubt that the people with money and power have the situation well in hand... for their good. The rest of us serve their ends. Check history on Rome, the Babylonians, even Japan. Their money and power people never wanted for anything after they screwed the populus they had control over. The people perished in various ways, but those families went on to more wealth and more power. I do not know how anyone can buy the fallacy sold them in the media. I prefer facts, so the news is of no use to me.
