Paradigm Shift

As a nation, we're closer to a much needed paradigm shift than we've been in a long while- probably since 1929-1933. People have escaped both the compromised right and the compromised left in droves, and they're circling the same enemy. This is not a bad thing for the two party system to be on its knees. They're both stale and worn out, and they've both steadily evolved into parties that control the masses rather than control the corporate state.

Yes, the corporate rules are all we've ever known. Oceania is all we've ever known. If some cheap cosmetic shuffling of the deck by Obama succeeds in bottling up all this righteous contempt for Washington and Wall Street, then we're settling for more gestures in place of real change.
