Nov. 2 gave us a choice between war and more war, corporate globalization and more corporate globalization

Democracy in the United States is only a shadow in a corporate media cave of deceit, lies and incomplete information. We stand ignorant of what the powerful are doing in our name and how the corporate media ignores key issues affecting us all.

A young professional couple from San Diego stated the weekend before the election, “we don’t think voting will make any difference so why bother?” Over 80 million eligible voters joined them by refusing to participate in the most recent election. While having been a voter for 35 years, I can’t fault them for their logic. November 2 gave us a choice between war and more war, corporate globalization and more corporate globalization, the continuation of gifting billions of dollars to Israel, the Patriot Act and an expanded Patriot Act, a police state and an seriously growing police state, media monopoly and even bigger media monopolies, and wealth inequality or an even greater wealth divide.
