blindsided

While all the attention has been on a single senatoral race in Massachusettes, America has been sold down the river by the Supreme Court. Thirty years of disinformation, propaganda and outright lies have culminated in a group of activist judges making money the equal to free speech. Now, in the interest of "fairness", a corporation can do the equivalent of setting up a stadium-sized sound system next to your megaphone. All this because corporations (oh, and ordinary people, too, 'cause they're the same, right?) were being treated "unfairly" by limits on how much they could spend in order to get their point across.
So, get yourselves a burro, folks, unless you've got pot-loads of money already, because burros (or maybe an ox?) are standard equipment for peasants, and that's what we'll be in another generation or so. Practice your bowing and scraping. When money is more important than people, when money is the same thing as speech, when everything revolves around money, what chance do ordinary people, most of whom have little of that which is worshipped here, have at getting their "costly" needs taken care of?
None.
