  1. A quotation from Molly Ivins

    It’s all very well to dismiss the dismal sight of our Legislature in action by saying, “I’m just not interested in politics,” but the qualifications of the people who prescribe your eyeglasses, how deep you will be buried, what books your kids read in school, whether your beautician knows how to give a perm, the size of the cells in Stripe City, and a thousand and one other matters that touch your lives daily are decided by the dweebs, dorks, geeks, crooks, and bozos we’ve put into public office.

    Molly Ivins (1944-2007) American writer, political columnist [Mary Tyler Ivins]
    Essay (1992-03-01), “Good morning, Fort Worth! Glad to be here,” Fort Worth Star-Telegram

  13. It's not hard to understand..
    the reason why '#Corporations' rule in #US is that your #politicians are CORRUPTED.
    If #Americans want to have 'healthy' politics
    they have to control the amount of money that can be 'offered' to politicians
    and impose a 'limit' (a REAL limit that cannot be 'bypassed')
    ]In the #USA the laws can ALL be circumvented
    (even the #Constitutional ones, as Trump has demonstrated)
    Americans must have CERTAINTY of #Law, there is none in US today...
