Ride On

Well, here we go, both parties have spoken and now the fun begins.  Now is the time when Americans get to see and hear countless political ads about how terrible somebody is or how a particular party wants to save the earth by taking your job away or another party wants everyone to work in factories building bombs and tanks while raising your taxes to further cut their own.  Then in November we'll all get to vote for party or candidate that has the type of corporate backing we are comfortable with and a year from now it will appear that nothing has changed.
This time around the whole process seems disingenuous, one party is railing on about corporations being people, when the idea is nearly as old as the nation,  1819, to be exact, Dartmouth College vs Woodward.  Point is the Supreme Court in 2010, simply affirmed the rights of corporations and unions to exercise their 1st Amendment rights.  Furthermore it is disingenuous for either party to point a finger at the other over this idea, as both parties greatly benefit from the recognition of corporate person hood,especially in the realm of campaign spending.  Then one party believes that another party has chosen to save the earth, not American jobs.  Right, so its earth vs. the middle class.  The statement is repulsive in the sense that it is simplified to an idiotic level and it also that it shows no actual understanding of cause and effect, poison the planet and humans will evidently suffer, I'd like my kid to see things much as they are today and not be telling his kids and grandchildren about snow or trees or whatever.  Finally, it shows a lack of ingenuity why not embrace capitalistic greed and the environment, it's not easy, but either is most the good stuff in this world. 
Still this is finest nation around, after all we let Lyndon LaRouche out of jail.
