It clearly expresses the reality that our election process is
\nessentially a Kabuki Dance, a choreographed distraction
\nsimilar to professional wresting or Reality TV.<\/p>\n

Elections are entertainment to provide “the illusion of freedom”
\nwhile, we the people, are reduced to the status of debt-slaves,
\nmere serfs beholden to our corporate over-lords, banksters and
\nthe oligarchs who rule us.<\/p>\n
The rebellious acts of violence coming from Ferguson, MO and\u00a0championed by the ever-expressive Minister Louis Farrakhan,\u00a0forebode the long predicted social unrest that unfolds during difficult economic times.<\/p>\n
Along with foreign threats — real and imagined — our nation plunges\u00a0ever deeper into a troubled future with little reason for optimism\u00a0emerging from the presidential campaign.<\/p>\n
Dark days lie ahead: the sparks of love, joy and humor needed to
\ntranscend this predicament currently lie buried deep within the souls
\nof decent folks who must shake themselves out of their slumber and
\nfind the courage to create a far better future than the one presently
\nlooming just ahead.<\/p>\n
