NP — I’m cranky today, I think. Have been fielding a bunch of “why aren’t you fixing this” and “why aren’t you doing something about that” and all sorts of whinging e-mails lately. Sometimes, being one person who is trying to make a difference and having people get pissed at you because you aren’t making a difference fast enough for their liking…gets on your last nerve. (According to one person, for example, the FISA mess is all my fault. SIGH)

Today, after a long week of those sorts of e-mails, is just one of those days for me, I’m afraid. Calgon, take me away…

I suspect that the premise is that FDL accepts the system of government, parties the media and so forth and thinks it just needs to be set right by clearing away the bad apples and miscreants. That the system should work if every plays by the rules and is fair.

Some on the left would say that the system itself is the problem and it will always favor the oligarchy, the privileged few, the already powerful. That unless and until you have a real level playing field it will alway be an unjust system of the upper class with their boots on the neck of the lower class.

Though we had a decent middle class, we’ve never eliminated poverty and suffering in this country and our system seems to thrive on an underclass, be they unorganized workers or exploited immigrants. And the underclass is growing, and the middle class is now is decline. The rich are doing fine.

It’s all about the money, some would say. Our free market capitalism is exploitive and keeping too many people down.

Warning: this article will infuriate you.

Wow, that doesn’t say the half of it…

When I think that that soul-damaged fuck of a President sent these young men off on his goose-chase, and now that they’re back with these severe brain injuries you’ve got penny-pinchers counting out the care that they’re given… after they’ve sacrificed everything for their nation…

May the President be afflicted with a conscience and live a very, very long time.
