It is eerie how books like Atlas Shrugged and some movies (or scenes from movies) can be so prophetic for the current times ! I would love for courageous People to actually rally in DC and scream this so that maybe the prostitutes, uh, politicians know how fed up we are.

    I have to disagree to some extent. They continue to be elected, so to some degree the people doing the voting either approve or are at least ignorant of what they are doing.

    As noted above. the poliicians don't care what we think. If you examine their actions over a period of time, it's clear that the decisions they make are based on the wishes of their corporate banker masters, not the people who elected them. Just look at how easily the GOP pushed through yet another round of debt raising this week. Most Ameriacns were opposed, yet it didn't matter did it? Protesting the actions of DC, or even voting (given how elections and candidates are rigged) won't make any difference. History tells us we"re headed for another revolution if we intend to retain any freedom at all. So wake up....Washington doesn't care what you think, and carrying signs won't cut it...action will.

    Actually, throwing the "bums" out won't work because the system is rigged so your only choices are more of the same. For example, when Obama replaced Bush, what changed? NOTHING. Both are merely puppets of the international corporations and banks that own them. If you want change, you need to look up-stream and eliminate the real power behind the puppet politicians. A systematic extermination of these so-called corporate and banker "elites" is what it's going to take to change things for the better. Remember, there's way more of us than there are of them...we CAN prevail, but the action we'd need to take is extreme, and would put us on "their level" morally and legally. I'm not sure enough people have the stomach for it.

    For over 150 years, the American people have been scammed by the "two-party" system. You'd think in that amount of time, we'd wise up. I too have stopped looking to either establishment party for the answers...they're the problem, not the solution. Yet every time a viable third-party emerges, it's immediately attacked and discredited by the establishment political, corporate and media vermin. As long as Americans are too lazy to educate themselves as to what's really going on (and with the internet, there's no excuse not to) and continue to swallow the MSM lies and crap, nothing will change. It may be that things will have to totally collapse before people wake up. If so, it will be a long, hard climb to get out of the hole we've dug ourselves into. I agree with you that the best route to take in non-participation in the whole establishment mess!

    Well, I don't subscribe to the idea of giving up, even though things CAN sometimes seem hopeless. Remember, our perception of reality tends to be somewhat short-term. By that I mean we tend not to take a longer-term view and acknowledge that nothing stays the same. For example, think back to 1952, when the Korean War was going on and we thought of Korea as a backward, third-world country. Fast-forward to 2014 and look at the power-house South Korea has become! Well, even if America implodes due to the $17+Trillion in debt and socialist leanings of the current leadership, this too will pass. And from the ashes we have a chance to build an even greater country than before, if we just learn from our mistakes. As far as what to do now? Well, you need to look after yourself; your family; and those you care about. You can't control what other people (or vermin politicians) do, but you can control what you do. Get prepared...things WILL get rocky for a while, and those who aren't prepared may not make it through to the other side. And Camp FEMA isn't the answer ;-)

    Maybe we should all FLOOD our Congressmen with the link to this clip. Sure as hell couldn't hurt. I know that I am going to anyway and also send it to the White House.

    If you are really "Mad as Hell", then get out in Nov and vote them all out. I say "Reelect No-one". We need to get together and run all the bums out.

    Absolutely right. Also with the prostitute, you know what you are getting. With politicians, they always find some new way to screw you.

    I agree. As much I wish otherwise, Washington does not care what we think and I believe the voting process is rigged. All of these thoughts made me feel helpless and without hope. What can we do? What has been done in the past? Trust God and fight.

    “Those who don't know history are doomed to repeat it.” ― Edmund Burke

    "know" in this context means understand.

    It is somewhat amazing that all these self-professed experts on society are so ignorant with regards to all the social experiments tried throughout the ages.

    "But wisdom is justified of all her children." -- Luke 7:35

    You're completely wrong - the prostitutes provide a service that one chooses or not to purchase. The politicians force their services upon us. There's a fundamental difference and if I were to be exploited, would much prefer the former than the later.

    Ayn Rand was right there is no way for them to learn until they live through it.
