本期话题
Topic:Protests
A little about something I'd like to protest. I think one of the things that I'd like to protest is the fact that most of our political systems really there are very few choices in what's going on.
I don't think anybody really runs politics any more. I think it's more big business and corporations that decided what's gonna to happen and I think that, you know, really if you look at most political parties, the leaders, one leader is no different from the other. You know, Obama is really no different from Bush in a lot of ways. I feel like the media and big business are really sort of creating public opinion in certain ways and sort of herding people into certain choices to make it appear that there are choices but really there aren't. It's pretty disappointing and pretty disheartening and I think it's something that's gonna take a lot of time and will and effort to really solve, if it can be solved. Thanks very much.
