Re: Russian Blogger has some opinions about the US.
I'm impressed that this Russian blogger would care so much to be so angry about what's happening in America. If it wasn't for the references to his own country I would have thought he was from the US.
He's right though. Much of our society is complacent and easily soothed and swayed by mere words.

We, the people, are not being represented in any way shape or form. There may that one rogue out there who tries to bring up issues that the people he represents want changed, but who is truly going to listen to him in D.C.?

Money controls D.C. Hell, money controls the world. If you make more money catering to the lobbyists than to your constituents... why would you even give a shit about what the "little people" think? Oh, sure, it's possible you might get voted out of your position... but with enough money to throw around, even that's not gonna happen unless you really fuck up (by getting on the bad side of those lobbyists.)
It's pretty goddamn depressing that so much of what that Russian dude wrote is true.

I personally feel very little representation in DC, or my statehouse for that matter.
I'll just throw this out there....TERM LIMITS. I think this will help deliver a better representative, and gets rid of the professional politician.

Interesting how a smaller bank can go under, smaller companies can go under and no biggie.
But in America if it isn't a super duper all-in-one company then its bad and need to go buy the rest of the fucking world to make money and then we have to bail it out because its bigger then the fucking world
