The Idiots Who Rule America

Journalist Chris Hedges writes what's been in my head lately.
All the rhetoric and activity around the recent "crisis" has centered on fixing the system.
The immediate outcome of the "crisis" demonstrates that the system is beyond fixing.
I think that high Priest Greenspan -- vicar of the Church of Selfishness known as Objectivism -- which has dug its fangs into the neck of modern society -- nneds to be seen for the corrupt, corrosive force that he and his kind represent. Teaching Ayn Rand as some sort of modern bible deserves to be recgonized for what it is -- once of the root causes of the modern calamity we face. To para-quote Joseph Conrad "we live as we dream...alone." Indeed!
