...only one thing wrong with this; how can anyone seriously have believed Obama the first time? In any democracy you are voting for the lesser of two evils...name one politician who was moral, ever. If one is to take this high ground, one is still obligated to DO something...and I don't think voting for Don Quixote, all the while knowing he doesn't stand a chance in hell, qualifies.

We just saw with the NFL referee strike and super-fast resolution that what drives everything is money...it took one really bad call to start the emails and phone calls flooding in...and the owners settled, real fast...and it isn't as if there's another NFL out there to go to...there's only one and when it came down to it owners weren't willing risk the wrath and dollar bills of their customers.

There's a lesson here....our dollar bills are much more powerful than our stupid votes...especially faster too. You don;t have to boycott a corporation into total bankruptcy...all you have to do is put a dent in their profit margin and you'll have them weeping and begging and obeying you...if you aren't going to play the "game", then don't make empty, useless though noble gestures. Hurt SOMEBODY, the way corporations are hurting us and the country they milk.
