They say It better

I've been heavily distracted of late by articles on FB from Bill Moyers interviews, NY Times, Huffington Post, Alternet and other sources speaking of the trouble with our country, the primaries, the candidates. All very well said, I could not possibly do better. Although, along with others, I have been bemoaning the money in politics, the power in the hands of lobbyists, the lying corporations, the insidious defense conglomerate. Years ago I learned that in every state of this nation, there is some business which manufactures a necessary part of the weapons industry. This insures that every legislator Democrat or Republican votes to keep funding the defense budget. All elected officials of either party must spend a good portion of their day raising money - it is insane; no wonder there are few good candidates for office. Who wants the job.
