As you can tell, I've not posted anything political in quite some time. Frankly, I'm fed up. The Occupy protests only succeeded in one thing: Causing the 1% to push through updates to the NDAA that allow 'indefinite detention' to Americans who are deemed 'terrorists'. And Obama signed it. He snuck it through on New Year's Eve, when he thought no one was paying attention. And we just now got out of Iraq (technically). And Guantanamo is still open. And he extended the Bush tax cuts to the rich. He's been more of a Republican than Dubya was. Granted, he got that Healthcare thing passed (in a completely butchered and gimped form, and wasted all of his political capital to do it), and repealed Don't Ask Don't Tell, but neither of those affect the average citizen. If he signs SOPA, I hope the Founding Fathers pop out of their coffins and feed on the brains of all three branches of government.
I haven't posted anything political because I'm disillusioned, but that doesn't mean I'm not paying attention.
