"When so much power is invested in so few, and with so little accountability, the system will breed corruption like a swamp brreds mosquitoes."

Mr. Crowley, what went down in your head

(Oh) Mr. Crowley, did you talk to the dead

Your lifestyle to me seemed so tragic

With the thrill of it all

You fooled all those people with magic

(Yeah)You waited on Satan's call

Mr. Charming, did you think you were pure

Mr. Alarming, in nocturnal rapport

Uncovering things that were sacred, manifest on this earth

(Oh)Conceived in the eye of a secret

Yeah, they scattered the afterbirth

Mr. Crowley, won't you ride my white horse?

Mr. Crowley, it's symbolic of course

Approaching a time that is classic

I hear that maidens call

Approaching a time that is drastic

Standing with their backs to the wall

surf, did Victor put you up to this?

Sven is drunk with corrupt power. 🙂

I can't take credit. Actually authored by a fellow named David Donnelly of the political reform group Public Campaign Action Fund.

He also says "It's time to take private money out of politics, reducing the role of big-money lobbyists who prop up corruptible power brokers. Legislating human nature away is impossible."

I have always said that it is not liberal or conservative, Democrat or Republican, red or blue. It is between what is right and what is wrong.

What direction do you believe we are headed?

as a country? hard to say.

if you and most of your friends were out of work because there were no jobs and you and your friends were about to be booted out of homes you have lived in for 10 or 15 years because you had no money to pay the mortgage, and you had spent time in the military in combat like vietnam or iraq,

what would you and your friends talk about?

imagine you lived in france in the late 18th century and faced the same desperation.

what would you and your friends talk about?

imagine not having enough income to feed your families.

what would you and your friends talk about?

^ Rick, I'm sorry. I don't get your point. This post was about lobbyists and special interest groups having too much to say about Government, not only with the Democrats, but also with the Republicans.

It is about the needs of the few far outweighing the needs of the many. I don't feel that the interest of the people in general are being serve at this point.

It's all about power at this point in time. I really don't give a rat's rear end about this type of power.

If you want to show me real power, DO THE RIGHT THING!!!!! Now, that's real power and something the majority can BELIEVE in.

Hey, "WHERE's THE BEEF !"
