I'm glad the OWS movement is attempting to raise the Morality of our economic and political systems from the mindless greed of the capitalist system. You may notice the Repub. tend to cut those "care for the sick, disabled and elderly" programs you mentioned ..... in favor of the filthy rich.

Recently watched a doc. about the new Farming in what's left of the city of Detroit. The concept of "food deserts" came up - where the nearest food is out of a corner liquor store, a few old apples and packaged junk food. The people started growing their own, on empty lots, not with the official sanction of city govmt, so .... it's still a bit dicey, but without square miles of vacant lots, they wouldn't have the choice to not eat the nearly spoiled food that was available. And I agree with you John - the government is near totally corrupt. If I had the choice …. there’s an awful lot of people who don’t have that choice.

I bet the latter list is longer than the former. Besides, I wouldn't shop at a grocery store that sold me spoiled food. Would you?

Who would have thought thast indeed Iraq does appear to be the best of the bad in the middle east. They are teetering as was demonstrated by the months of negot to form a new government. But at least no one was asassinated nor were protestors shot down in the streets. AKX seems to be looking for perfection which is unreasonable in a "baby democratic" country. Our own USA is not giving the world a good example of democracy. Well said. Who would have thought thast indeed Iraq does appear to be the best of the bad in the middle east.
