Reading the comments -- it is amazing how quick it takes to from allegedly a democracy governed by a rule of law to a corrupt oligarchy. I personally understand the reasons, but it's a bit "funny" given all the grand-standing before about the founding fathers, checks and balances etc.

The mercenary values become quite plain sometimes. They have told us who they are, these people who are now brazenly about money and power.

It's up to us not to forget, and to vote accordingly, and to call BS when we see it.

Otherwise we lose our democracy.

> to vote accordingly

too many people are too comfortable - both with not voting, but also to vote blindly.

> we lose our democracy.

it's half-way into the grave imho.
