General Discussion

(I think I agree with you on rereading your post. But I'll make my point in another way.)

I am not spouting off utopian idealism or knee-jerk alarmist.

Just trying to avoid yet another economic-political-policy trainwreck tat is totally avoidable.

We are witnessing yet another repeat of a pattern that has become all-too-familiar over the last 35 years. The attitude of "Let's just give the Wealthy and Powerful all the unregulated power they want, and hope for the best"

That approach has been eroding the economy and social values and well being of the majority of the United States.

That's how we ended up with a handful of Media Monopolies controlling all of broadcasting and much of print. And now they have their eyes on the Internet.

That's also how we ended up with the Pirate Corporate Capitalism that led to the crash of 2008, and continues to decimate the middle class.
