Hello Corporate Feudalism

As expected, the United States Supreme Court, in a 5-4 ruling, opened the floodgates for unfettered corporate money into federal elections. With this radical ruling, the SCOTUS has made the corporate feudal nightmare presciently portrayed in the 1975 version of "Rollerball," a much more possible reality. The "Great Lurch Backwards" to redux of the Robber Baron era, initiated by Grandpa Caligula (Ronald Reagan) and continued in one way or another to varying extents by every administration since, is for all intents and purposes, now here.
If this is not addressed and challenged immediately and effectively, the "We the People" of the USA will become "We the Corporations." In fact, the rest of the would do well to be on their guard, as the prospect of a corporate dominated government controlling the US military is truly scary -- think the Iraq fiasco done worldwide. It would not surprise that in my old age, the rest of the world gangs up on the USA to prevent a similar corporate take-over in their own countries. If that happens, I plan to be of aid of those fighting the corporations in any way possible. The last thing this planet needs is rule by a small oligarchy of greedy elites who's psychopathic tendencies makes the Mafia look like choir boys.
