Still, there's so much ...Hope you're right. Still, there's so much apathy and inertia within the middle class it's akin to entrenched poverty. We may be past the point of no return - at least until there are a 10,000 Madisons. <br /><br />The Repugs and big corps have been union busting for a long, long time and unions have been defiled and marginalized. <br /><br />Reagan is responsible for the modern era of unabashed greed which brought us to the current mess. And even knowing this, a huge number of Americans still think he was a great president. <br /><br />While I want to believe the protests in Wisconsin can be the domino of change ... there just isn't evidence within modern American history (except for the late 50s, early 60s civil rights movement) to support the idea.<br /><br />Instead of the Egyptian style of change we may ultimately see something along the lines of the French Revolution. Americans like their violence. (Which I hope doesn't happen.)<br /><br />btw, how in blazes did a once progressive Wisconsin elect such a vile politician?willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15590217997145761582noreply@blogger.com
