"Anyone with courage among the Democratic presidential hopefuls could seize this moment and reorder the agenda for 2004, but no one so far has found the guts to break ranks with corporate power" Exactly - this is the saddest point of all. They have been ALL successfully bought. Rather amazing, when you think about it. As Chomsky would say, no would have thought it possible. My bet is on the control of the media as the bit of ideological jujutsu that keeps things tied up. Someone will have to arise from the citizenry, unaffiliated with either party. Greider is one of the good guys. "Zombie Nation", LOL! Highly programmed. Like extremists everywhere.

Unfortunately, I agree with the darker predictions of the Greider piece you posted. This is the main order prediction for America: "Nothing will happen, nothing will change--nobody goes to jail, no significant reforms are enacted. If so, the main result will be confirmation of an already endemic public cynicism and the further poisoning of American values. ...The system would go forward in roughly the same fashion (perhaps tarted up with public-relations rouge), and everyone would understand that corruption is the system. In markets and in the popular culture, the message would be: Forget that crap about ethics--might as well take the low road, since that's how the big boys get theirs." A true "Zombie Nation", as you say, a puppet-master's plaything.... Re: "dysfunctional, dystopian, dyslexic dreamworks of the delusional Dubya diatribe. [signed] Digressing, Duray" >>> "Dig. Duray", that's a lot of alliteration for one sentence, didn't know you had any Southern Baptist in you :)
