wolves in different clothing
So, the Democrats won the House and the Senate in the US the other day.
Big deal.
What a lot of people fail to realize is that this does not change anything except who is in those two places. And that's not much of a change. Democrat...Republican...it's like saying water or H20. Big money, usually in the hands of energy concerns, will continue to run things. If big money says stay the course in Iraq and Afghanistan, the US will continue to fight those battles. If big money says use oil or coal or infant bodies as their fuel source, then people will use those to run their cars and heat their buildings.
Big money will always take precedence over the little guy. It's easy to see why. Big money can get you what you want now instead of having to wait a long time to get a piece of what you want. Big money has power, so much power that a minority of people with a lot of money can make change happen even when the majority does not want it.
All men are created equal. At least that's what was said a long time ago. All money, however, is not handed out equally to all men. There will not be change in politics until special interests and corporations take their hands out of the pie. Democracies should be there to allow all people to have a say in what happens, not just those few who have a lot of money and want to make more money.
Canada has the same problem. I haven't noticed much of a change from the Liberals to the Conservatives in Ottawa, or the Conservatives to the Liberals in Ontario.
They are all wolves. They just wear different clothes.
And we, for the most part, are the willing sheep.
Big deal.
