Our democracy has been hacked by this expansion of corporate power, preventing meaningful action on several crucial issues. The climate crisis is an instructive example. The strategic goal of the market fundamentalists to “reposition global warming as theory not fact” has created enough false doubt around the issue to hinder progress. The potential consequences of climate change have never been clearer than they are today. Consider what we saw in America just last year. 2012 was the hottest year in American history and 60% of America experienced drought. Extreme weather events, like Superstorm Sandy, caused over $110 billion of damages. Yet Congress remains paralyzed, with many lawmakers even refusing to acknowledge the validity of climate science. The future of our planet demands that we put the sustainability of our planet before corporate profit.
Al was recently seen dining out by himself.
We’d all be better off financially and otherwise if politicians were prevented from meaningful action (enriching themselves and their friends).
Must be time to pass laws limiting house ownership to one unit and no private jet travel for anyone, including all politicians.
I’m sur Al wouldn’t mine . . .
Man-bear-pig says it all.
Where is chris to set our minds right?
He’s off to one of those left leaning kool aid stands.
Steve – I don’t see anyone bringing up the $50 million that Steven Chu got Exxon to donate in order to build an new research facility at Berkeley. Journalists today are so corrupt in not covering Chu’s bonanza from Exxon.
Poor Al isn’t coping with the reality that there are many people who are much more intelligent than he thinks he is. Blaming it on something that has no basis in fact is the last bastion of the complete moron.
“Whenever I hear of sustainability … I ease-off the safety catch of my Remington!”
“market fundamentalists” the lefties come up with something new everday.
ManBearPig simply cannot imagine that logical and honest skeptics might be able to counter his humungously funded propaganda campaign. The people, it appears, are not as stupid as he assumes them to be. HIS followers have the IQ and scientific knowledge of the oft-maligned turnip.
Another instance proving that leftists are insane. Insane from the right brain! 😉
