For the longest time I had virtually given up hope (not really - but it sure felt like it at times).   I wondered how blind could our fellow citizens be.  

Four years ago it seemed the majority didn’t care about the important issues of the time and instead cared more about issues like Gay Marriage.  There was a powerful undercurrent that swayed the masses based just on that.

Today, on the precipice of total disaster the masses that once gave their blind faith to the corporate cause now vest their hope in the hero of  promise.  In substance abuse there is a saying that it is not until the addict hits rock bottom will he be ready for recovery.  So it must be with arrogant wealthy nations too.  

”Hey, Rocky.  Watch me pull a rabbit out of the hat.”

“Oh, Bullwinkle.  Not again.”(drum roll please)

 Ta Da! 

We applaud you Bullwinkle.  You finally were able to perform that magic trick.  Now, how about a little alchemy?
