Do As I Say, Not As I Do

Did you know that insider trading is legal?  It is -- if you're a Congressman or work on a Congressman's staff

Are you as pissed off about this as I am?  Sometimes I think I exaggerate about the ruling class and their sins against regular folk, but now I realize that I don't.  And their transgressions are probably more egregious than you or I can even imagine.  We do not live in a free country.  We are ruled by an oligarchy just as corrupt as you can find in any two-bit Third World country.  I know that's a scary thought and that many of us would prefer to go about our business thinking that everything is just hunky-dory.  But we must admit to ourselves that this is not the country we thought it was.  We have allowed crooks and scoundrels to rule over us because we didn't want to do the hard work of governing ourselves.  We cannot continue down this path -- it will lead to our ruin. 

Please take few minutes of your time and contact your Congressman about the above.  There have been bills brought before the House to apply the private sector's rules to the public sector -- make yourself heard and demand some accountability.
