Exactly - this was excellent in terms of communicating the larger problem of how the differences between Dems and Repub's have narrowed and continue to narrow significantly. Obama and Congress actually forwarded and supported so much of the Republican agenda and it hasn't worked particularly well. More of the same philosophy will result in more of the same...consolidate money and power in the hands of fewer and fewer individuals - particularly now that "corporations are people too." I don't understand how hard working americans can be so duped. I've been reading the Hunger Games series to keep up with the kids (although I'm always late to this effort). The books aren't particularly literary, but do weave the concepts of compassion/lack of, media, dictatorship, technology, rebellion, control of the masses, etc., into the story targeted at the next generation, I believe. And Ha ha on Bill M's last line skewering the Dem's platform..."vote for us, we're lame, but we're not nuts."
