When Wall Street Rules, We Get Wall Street Rules

Dear Mark.



I am in Australia and today there is the general election - and here it is actually compulsory to vote, or get fined.



But I am not voting, because, just as in the US, the two main parties are two sides of the same coin and the best any minor party can hope for is to hold some balance of power, which doesn't amount to much.



I used to be very politically active - in the Labor Party actually - but quit in disgust at the corruption and factionalism.



Then I used to vote Green as a more or less protest vote and I used to try to organize meetings, but hardly anyone turned up.



Good luck if you do better than I did.



Obviously I am not apathetic - else I would not be here - but I have given up trying and now believe that nothing will change until there is a massive crisis that can't be patched-up, either another major war, or a real depression - not that I want either, because millions will suffer, but what else will wake sufficient people up?
