An Impertinent Question
Thursday, July 11, 2013 Permit me an impertinent question (or three).Suppose a small group of extremely wealthy people sought to systematically destroy the U.S.
government by (1) finding and bankrolling new candidates pledged to shrinking and dismembering it; (2) intimidating or bribing many current senators and representatives to block all proposed legislation, prevent the appointment of presidential nominees, eliminate funds to implement and enforce laws, and threaten to default on the nation’s debt; (3) taking over state governments in order to redistrict, gerrymander, require voter IDs, purge voter rolls, and otherwise suppress the votes of the majority in federal elections; (4) running a vast PR campaign designed to convince the American public of certain big lies, such as climate change is a hoax, and (5) buying up the media so the public cannot know the truth.
Would you call this treason?
If not, what would you call it?
And what would you do about it?

My take on this is that Psychopathic and Sociopathic people have been the problem for years. This problem has been with us for years and the answer is that these people are instilled in all levels of Government. It is visible in Congress with some DEM; REP and LIB party members writing the Laws With Obama signing them.
They say the country is shifting to the right, but only because members are being intimidated to compromise and shift their beliefs by the fanatic right wing who will not negotiate.
Also, this process/tactic can be seen in the corporate culture as well. The profit motive itself is Sociopathic. It always strives to allocate money to top performers while taking money from low performers, i.e. the poor, in a constant effort to get more effort for less money (austerity).
We need a way to weed out the Psychopathic/Sociopathic elements and return our county back to an honest days pay for and honest days work. Also, Stop gutting every program that has worked for our society, i.e. Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare. We can afford it and only Sociopathic people will say we can't. These people must be Identified and replaced with empathetic people.
So, "WHAT'S WRONG WITH OUR WORLD? THIS IS A FILM FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT TO KNOW." Every meaningful change starts with awareness. In our culture, we not only praise psychopaths in the highest positions of power, but in many cases, they became our role models. Challenge your beliefs!
