| Capitalism: A love story

Very interesting film. It was very deep. Would need to watch it again to get the full grasp of it.
I had no idea that FDR wrote a 2nd bill of rights. They skimped out on that in history class.
It's message though is something I been preaching since my early twenties.
Anarchy or a new american revolution is too out of touch with how people are. Most people I know switch to CNN and get all pissed off over it then flip it to the football game and in within 5 seconds they forget all about how AIG just screwed them out of 700 billion.
One voice can't do much. We've seen it over time. The HMO guy on the freeway in los angeles, CA. Blows his brains out to make a statement and nothing changed. Or the guy that stole the tank and rolled down the freeway to make a statement, they just shot him and life moves on. People have gone "postal" all over and it doesn't make a difference.
But when people form together and make a stand like workers in our factories and union workers, it has shown throughout time that a non-violent fight can work for the better.
But the bottom line is even though that some of us are ready to put on the good fight. Most of us it takes change of the worse to happen before we would consider risking the happiness or the security of our lives. We all need to grovel at the same level for a difference to ever occur in our time, unfortunately.
