An Update

Twitter has now done something that would make Apple mighty proud - it suspended the account attached to the petition to repeal Citizens United. Why does this not surprise me? And why is there so very little outrage over it?! By now, we've really sold our souls to the devil. Why don't we care? Are we simply too exhausted? Is there so little fight left in us, that we refuse to even mock them anymore? Lord, are we in trouble...

For anyone who cares, disregard the link to Twitter in the previous post. Or click on it if you don't believe they've suspended it. There is now a new Facebook page regarding Twitter's action:

Twitter Quashes the Campaign to Repeal Citizens United

Repeal Citizens United - Please sign if you can...

All right, even if you happen to be a rabid Apple fanboy, you still would probably prefer that corporations not be defined as natural persons. Unless of course you are deeply anti-social and feel you have more in common with an unthinking, non-breathing, entirely fictitious entity. Then, yeah, I would get it.

So my appeal is to those who believe in the power of the people not to be bought. Get back to the original definition of democracy for a change. Breastfeed actual infants, not CEOs! You get what I'm saying?

Let's get things 'simplified,' so we can all breathe a little more easily!
