It's a vicious cycle. To vote or not to vote, that is the question.
Here we have a microcosm of the overall and overriding problem in our country - the system has been built in such a way that allows money, or the greed for it, to affect the landscape when it comes to the only power that the people have - the vote. Just ask the Koch brothers and all those who fervently believe that the average Joe/Jane is defrauding the government via the vote.
The ironical part is that it is so far removed from the truth, that it's almost comical how the people have been bamboozled by the likes of the ultra-rich brothers, who have spent hundreds of millions across the country in small towns such as Ferguson, MO. Precisely to misdirect and befuddle ordinary folk to deflect attention away from the fact that they control every aspect of our lives. Deception, lies and smoke and mirrors - the manipulation of our democracy to bend to their will.
Which has led to the dysfunction in Washington. Was it perfect before, no, but now we have such chaos as to appear almost totally unrecognizable. This country, like in many marriages, functions best through compromise. No one side is going to get everything they want, but we can build things and impact on the lives of our neighbors and family across the country. We just have to not allow these greedy bastards to destroy what makes this country great.
It's US, the good folk who roll up our collective sleeves and make it work despite the odds. Fuck the Koch brothers and their ilk. This country was built from the ground up by the average Joe and Jane. My take on this whole mess is:
1- every person gets a vote.
2- those running for office gets 5 minutes to make their case on TV for free. The rest of the time they can make their case in town hall meetings.
3- No lobbyists, period.
4- Veterans should be hired to re-build our infrastructure; they should also each get a house as a gift from a grateful nation
5- Teachers should be paid a decent salary only to teach
6- Millionaires can contribute no more than a million into a large pool of money made available to ALL candidates
7- We should have a National Police, Fire, Teachers and Nurses department
More ideas another time, but something has to give or we will end up giving our blood, sweat and tears to the Company.

Are you able to see who gives funds to which politicans? I think transparency around donations is essential and I like your idea of a cap.
Re the police, would it be better state run? Less open to local corruption?

If a few dozen people in Ferguson had been collecting, and publishing, the stories about Ferguson police stealing money by writing tickets and citations, perhaps the City Manager of Ferguson would have ordered the revenue raising to stop many years ago. It would be messy, with the police denying doing what they were obviously doing, but it could have happened. Maybe. The problem is that it is unimaginable that even a dozen Americans would cooperate with one another to write those stories, unless the Koch Brothers paid them.
That's something the Kochs will not do.
Instead, from a thousand miles away, the Dept. of Justice used the police department's own records to write the stories that local people should have been writing inside Ferguson. And US Attorney General Eric Holder only got involved with these far away problems because the killing by the Ferguson police stayed in the national news for months. If the Grand Jury had not stretched out the process of deciding that no murder had been committed, then Holder probably would have ignored Ferguson forever.
Eric Holder will never again come to rescue of some other Ferguson because he is retiring. And the next election in other cities like Ferguson will probably be in November 2016. Is everybody in America so passive that local problems can't get solved until the next Eric Holder is appointed? The next President will probably be Republican and they don't appoint people like Eric Holder to be Attorney General. There will be no more free help from the Dept of Justice.

Not Ferguson, but details of widespread Home Invasions, Theft, and terrorism conducted by corrupt Union thug cops at the direction of corrupt Democrat (or Nazi) District Attorney John Chisolm and Libtard corrupt Judge Barbara Kluka, all for the heinous acts of supporting conservative causes. The home invasion victims had committed no crimes.

If liberals really had the slightest interest in Justice, DA Chisholm and Judge Kluka would each be removed from office, disbarred, and thrown in prison. Plus all the corrupt cops and FBI Agents.
For those not familiar with the area, 60% of Wisconsin's population resides in the southeast corner of the state, so terrorizing Milwaukee residents and threatening them to silence has an effect statewide.
The statewide population is estimated at 5.7 million, and Milwaukee County is a little under 1 million.
The Milwaukee Police have been corrupt for more than a half century, and the DA's office has been corrupt for almost a century, owned by the mafia until the last DA left.
Yes, just like the Nazis, Milwaukee is a Socialist city, including having the most recent Socialist Mayor of any major us city - which was the end of a very long line of Socialist Mayors.

There is a awful lot of bad things going on in Ferguson, but as long as the youth in that community need one hand to hold up their pants, giving them a job is out of the question. What's my point? Same as it always is. Focusing only on the police fixes nothing now, fixes nothing later.
To many that sounds bigoted. To me it sounds like a reality that replays itself over and over again.

Racism, sexism, ageism - bigotry of all kinds is alive and well. Just look at rappy, jongsie, zitty, julie and the republican party, and their implacable hatred of one black man.
I've posted all kinds of statistics where blacks with more education get worse jobs than whites. Where females make 78% of males doing the same job. Where applications of all kinds - job applications, grant applications, loan applications - are turned down, or replaced with a worse offer, if the name looks ethnic, or female. Where 'blinded' applications - names removed, identities hidden, and results based ONLY on qualifications or performance - result in far greater numbers of females than males being hired because the previously rejected women are that much better.
Did it ever occur to you - naw, I guarantee it didn't - that if there were decent jobs out there blacks could get in a fair, unbiased competition with fair, unbiased results - that they might be motivated to get them?
SAGAN: We are releasing vast quantities of carbon dioxide, increasing the greenhouse effect. It may not take much to destabilize the Earth's climate, to convert this heaven, our only home in the cosmos, into a kind of hell.

Did this get lost because I didn't make a separate thread for it?

New today: Corrupt DA Chisholm is charging one of the victims for not keeping silent, in this pointless and fruitless "probe" which has lasted since ACT 10 was signed into law, which is what this witchhunt is all about.
Oh, and Chisholm says this is not a witchhunt, and anybody who points out that it is a witchhunt will be burned at the stake.

Menasha, WI had a shooting recently. Guy walked past many people in a Park before opening fire on a scenic bridge/trestle. Woman was shot 3 times, and saw that her husband was fatally shot, as well as her 11 year old daughter, but guides her 2 other children plus some other children off to safety, and directs her son to run for help.
Of note: Shooter had 2 handguns. Was recent Air Force Veteran. Had recently re-enlisted in the Army. Was Freshman at UW-Oshkosh in Criminal Justice Program . Was member of the Menasha Auxiliary Police force.
At the press conference, the Menasha Police Chief stated the name of the shooter once, and then stated that he would refuse to repeat the name.
So, regarding Police State, what kind of criteria is being used to select this type of person to be in the Criminal Justice program, and on the Police Auxiliary force?

That son was 7 years old. After seeing his 11 year old sister killed, found a guy walking dog for help.
