I'm Mad as Hell, and I'm Not Gonna Take It Anymore.

Green Man: The American political system and government is rotten to the core. Both parties (Democrats and Republicans) are offshoots from the same diseased tree of corruption. The corporations run Washington D.C., so the average citizen has about as much influence on our politicians as a dead man. Our government has long since stopped helping people in turn for exploiting us for their financial gain.

This is done through giving themselves obscene pay raises and tax cuts that they extend to corrupt business bosses who help prop up their incestuous circle of corruption. To ensure their graft continues, they raid our pensions, social security and investments through shady business practices; and when it all comes crashing down, guess who gets to pay the biggest and most painful price--we, the American people. We don't have offshore bank accounts busting with ill-gotten gains. Nor do we have the power that they wield to affect change. Before his untimely death, the Howard Beale of today, George Carlin, saw this con-job coming well before most people:Therefore, I am officially embracing the Green Party as my only refuge in this crumbling cesspool that we call "America the beautiful." I know that the Green Party can't and probably won't be able to change anything because of the rigged political system, which chokes off any opposition to the two-party, stranglehold on power. But, it's as much a protest action as anything else. I am tired of selling-out my integrity for a morsel of hope that one of the two diseased parties will change their vile behavior. Therefore, I'm taking refuge within a party that at least has integrity. I'd rather support a political party that doesn't win, yet has integrity, than choose one that makes me feel like I need to take a shower after seeing the way they govern upon voting for them.

In the meantime, I'm gearing up for the chaos that is unfolding in America. I have a feeling that it's about to completely come apart at the seems to explode into a new revolution and/or civil war. My hope is that I can band together with a small group of like-minded people and right out the turmoil in the wilderness. And, if the turmoil never ends, at least I'll die out in nature, than inside the cold, toxic, places of our cancerous, cities.
