That is th...We lost the Drilling Moratorium today. <br />That is the thing most folks don't seem to get about Disaster Capitalists, to wit: They Don't Stop the Shock. They will hit you with it over and over until you come around. <br />They are relentless in advancing their Reaper Madness. <br />They thrive on the chaos.<br /> <br />Unfortunately the ONLY thing We The People seem to have on our side is Information, and that is getting thin given what I see as a Draw-down of Louisiana Media: T-P, Advocate, Daily Comet, Advertiser, even Bayou Buzz (I won't even consider NO City Business).<br />They are backing off. <br />The Oil Industry started yanking people's jobs and we folded.<br />I really never understood Orwell's 1984 so poignantly until now. <br />The People really don't seem to have any recourse when the shit hits the fan. What recourse do we have? <br />We will drink oil and like it.<br />We will eat cake and like it.<br />I don't see Progressive Ideals pulling us out of this one.<br /><br />The only thing left is...<br />The American Pie Party<br />We Believe in Just Desserts<br />E Pluribus Piem<br /><br />PS-Any Youz wanna pull Editilla's chain on this flippancy come on, I've had enough.Editilla~New Orleans Ladderhttp://noladder.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30412896.post-63929316854148734972010-06-22T11:29:40.973-05:002010-06-22T11:29:40.973-05:00There should be a law that a person who has held o...There should be a law that a person who has held office cannot be a lobbyist once leaving office, as Livingston has done.
