EXACTLY!!! We have no government of the people, by the people, for the people... we haven't for a long long time, and that's IF we ever did. The Legislative Branch is gone. The Judicial Branch is gone... And the Executive Branch... LMFAO!!! We have no 4th Estate. Not anymore. Our media is nothing but the voice box for the totalitarian State that seeks to use, abuse and rule over us for it's own profit and power kicks. No one has ever said it better than George Carlin said it decades ago, "It's a Big Club, and you ain't in it!".... https://youtu.be/Nyvxt1svxso ...

A few months ago, this dawned on me too. I amended my usual three strikes rule.

Any outlet or talking head that uses these phrases in their headlines, gets probation, then a warning and then deletion from my list of sources. It has definitely improved my time management, awareness, and maybe even productivity.

The only question remaining is, is there a viable alternative that will rise to a position of power able to make positive change? Or will we (or more likely surviving generations) have to rebuild after society burns itself to the ground trying to stay warm?
