Web Log Purpose

A web log based on the principle that a civilized society deserves democratic government based on integrity. The premise here is the U.S. democracy has effectively been subverted by oligarchical forces which must be opposed with facts and rational thought. (An RSS feed is recommended.)

There Is a Demand

There is a demand in America now which has been present for ever so long. What is different is that this demand is rising to the surface of every-day life with increasing speed and spread. For instance, one pertinent web site, occupytogether.org , is listing 281 places in America which are in process of being "occupied." Whether the occupation is literal or figurative, it is clear to people in places all over America that there is something terribly unjust in our financial system. And they are moving now to claim something which is theirs -- the money which was used to finance the bank bail-out of three and less years ago. Without tax-payer money numerous financial institutions would not now be in business. Moreover, people realize that the money they gave to the banks has not been re-invested back into their communities. The injustice of this is simply seen. And now, ordinary Americans are willing to speak out in organized fashion on behalf of justice for all. Haven't I heard that phrase ("justice for all") somewhere else?
