I agree with you on this point; More will become angry in the future.

Complexity Favors The Sinister. We Need Systematic Simplification.

No Special Case Legislation, Term Limits, and Sunset Provisions For All Laws Not Contained In The Constitution.

Governance Is Where "The Rules Of The Game" Are Set.

I do wish that I was less aware; it would be less painful.

However, Safety Is A Function Of Awareness.

Those who refuse to discuss the proximity of Lions become "Big Kitty Snacks".

I am not Cynical - I am Concerned.

Apathy Has Brought Us To Our Current Situation. There is nothing like being uncomfortable to pique interest in public affairs. We Are Definitely Going To Get "Change".

I think that you should also look into HOW The Presidents Working Group On Financial Markets wields influence. Another Topic to research is the SEC Red Book.

Goldman, JP Morgan, And Most All Of The "Too Big To Fail" are where the "Rubber Meets The Road" for the Plunge Protection Team. Why wouldn't you give special treatment to those that do your bidding?

The Complexity Of Corruption Is Vast.

Those Who Refuse To Look And Question Will Never See.

Transparency And Accountability In All Transactions Would Be True Capitalism; We Have Something Very Different.

I think you need to look into "Electronic Voting" and all the ails that have never been fixed. All of the currently used systems have failed Accounting and Hacking Tests, yet they were called into service.

As Long As The Perception By The Public Is That The "Race" Is Close - The Results Can Be Tipped With No Accountability In Hard Copy That Is Not Created "As Voted".

Germany Recently Outlawed Electronic Voting In Their Country - The Question Should Be Asked As To Why.

To Assume Benevolence Is Foolish.

Humanity Is Constant; Only The Tools And The Environment Change.
