Now I am not his biggest supporter, but some of his ideas do make great sense.

I have not been following the progress of the auto market bailout one bit, bored by the idea that yet more of my taxes are going to a bunch of delusional, over paid executives who have all but run their companies to the ground.  Why is it that those at the bottom must pay for the mistakes for those at the top?  Because we are doormats.

On a continent where the middle class can pass for the upper class in many places in the world we are complacent to our own self destruction while we simply stand on the sidelines glued to the television waiting for the latest news releases, which of course are slanted in such a way to make us believe that sweeping the problem under the rug is the best possible solution.
All three auto makers wire given money by the US gov't in the early 90's to create an electric car....

so almost 2 decades have passed and you are back yet again begging for yet another handout?  While you have spent enormous amounts of time and energy not only glamorizing, but over producing large gas guzzling 4x4's and SUV's while gas was nearly 5$/gallon in the US and $1.50/litre in Canada.  

Oh and in yet another fine example of Capitalism at its finest Exxon Mobil continues to shatter records, pulling in $11.7 BILLION dollars in quarterly PROFITS.

They are part of the minority, the minority not yet affected who will happily stand by and do nothing.  We are led to believe that because we simply drop out of a birthing canal in one region that we are better, in fact superior to those born in other regions.  In order to subside the rebellion from their doorsteps the wealthy and powerful incite wars, tragic events and every bit of propaganda in order to prevent the masses from all out anarchy.

If you do not understand our banking system, then you do not understand just how deep of a hole we have dug ourselves.  The "solution" to our problem was to just dig deeper as if by doing so will eventually solve all our problems.  In this world, we are lucky to have 10% of actual currency to cover the currency that we are led to believe that is in circulation.  That is if everyone in the world went and withdrew all funds from their accounts, only 10% of the money needed will actually be available therefore the banks would be unable to service 90% of the monetary value that would be necessary.

Some in Europe have an understanding of the magnitude of the problems that we are currently facing, lashing out at any given opportunity to ensure that they are provided are decent standard of living while in North America, more so in the US, we are made to believe that there is no basic standard, it is not something to be provided but rather something that is to be paid for, i.e. PRIVATIZATION.  There are solutions, simple solutions.

Imagine living in a house the size of the one you currently live in for a 1/4 of the cost with no utilities to pay.  How much a month would you save?  The establishment is the problem, always has been and always will be.  America was founded on principles that are simply now rhetoric used only to ensure that the status quo is upheld and anarchy does not ensue.  Our founding fathers came over on boats in hope of a better life only to find a group of people who valued and cherished the earth they lived on, who understood the balance and harmony that is needed for a sustainable lifestyle and we slaughtered them ruthlessly for our own benefit, forced them into exile on their own land that we stole from them.

I pity not those who do not understand the times in which we live, for it is not their fault they are born with blinders, I pity those who do know and do understand yet do absolutely nothing about it, believing that they will not be affected, that they are truly living the American Dream in the land of the free.  But just exactly how free are you?

What exactly are we to do?  That is for you to decide, I cannot force your hand in such matters, but one can continually educate themselves in all matters of their existence in order to ensure that the mistakes of the past will not hinder the progress of the future.
It started as a journal entry and I ended up with a rant.
