What is the world coming to?

We have the government taking out an Everest-sized mountain of debt to bail out financial institutions that begged to fail. We’re entertaining another load of debt and taxation for health care reform that no one understands, that requires back-room deals to gain supporters, and has everyone but health insurance companies up in arms. We have terrorists being tried in civil court in New York City where they (allegedly) perpetrated their crimes. We have a Failed Christmas Day Underwear Bomber also headed to the civilian judicial system. Meanshile, our president supports blowing away suspected terrorists with military drones but will read Miranda rights to the ones caught alive.

And the Supreme Court just overturned a 20-year ruling that now allows corporations to spend freely on political causes. With the sort of money at play here, it could be impossible for any candidate or group to effectively voice any different opinion from that of a corporate giant. If you thought the era of Bread and Circuses was bad now, just wait for the fall. Corporate Big Brother will feed us any opinions we need.

I’m packing up and moving to the Moon.
