Bob; I think you have totally misunderstood me. I have absolutely NO faith 
in the people in power. The power-hungry are a whole different species. I 
ignore them and stay out of their world as much as possible; the only 
relevance they have for me is when their world overlaps mine and they try to 
control my life. I'm not invested in their economic world, so they can play 
their power games as much as they like. The 'culture' where they can get 
away with their shenanagans is THEIR culture, not mine. I live in a 
different world, with a different culture. You are more in their world than 
in mine, so it's hard to explain how irrelevant their actions are to me.

It's the many, many 'normal' people I have faith in. People who sooner or 
later will see that the emperor has no clothes. People who will only put up 
with so much of this nonsense. They are still out there; they just have to 
get sufficiently riled. Maybe it won't happen if my lifetime, but I think if 
Obama delivers more of the same (as it's looking like he will), there's 
going to be a lot of angry people.Sooner or later, something is going to 
blow.
