But, for the most part, they know not to be as 'open' and obvious about their position in our society.

D**k waving is the norm for most of the wealthy, and dudes are usually incapable of ignoring the urge.

Our problem is that the programming worked and, as a society, we are more interested in getting what they have as opposed to stopping the destruction that unfettered capitalism is creating all through this land.

What really amazes me is that we could stop it all by not giving them money. But, as I stated, we are too far gone when it comes to ignoring the 'siren call' of capitalism. The programming has done its job.

If we can just break out of the programming, we could really change things around here. Of course, the wealthy don't want that, as their position of privilege in our society would disappear. And, since things have not changed in the past one hundred years or so, I have to assume that enough of us don't want any of this to change.

I wish I thought that these marches would make something happen. I really do.
