I have avoided listening to any of it, including the section of Democracy
Now that covered it. Truly, I don't see the point and hearing this stsuff
would be very upsetting.

For me, it was a struggle listening to one hour of the "Big Ten". My only
purpose was to see if the Republican Party had shifted on any major
positions.
I did find Doctor Ben Carson interesting, until I checked his position on
key issues. He is a nice guy on the outside, harboring a Traditional
Conservative Hawk on the inside. While I might feel more at ease chatting
with him over a cup of coffee, as opposed to Donald Trump, Carson and I
would find little to agree on.
I agree with Chris Hedges when he says that Bill Clinton moved the
Democratic Party to the Right, forcing the Republican Party to the Radical
Right. Main stream Democrats and mainstream Republicans serve the same
Master. The Republicans advocate the elimination of many basic social
services, while the Democrats pay lip service as they allow it to happen.
For the Working Class, the choices seem grim and grimmer. Either a quick
drop in living standards, or a slow downward spiral.

The tired old definition of insanity, repeating the same thing over

While clever humans have concocted plans for building the perfect
civilization, every plan depends upon beating the crap out of
everyone else. It's a Fools Mission. And that is what is so
unsettling about the ten "Throwbacks" who pawed and snorted on FOX TV
enjoy it.Their collective solution to a lasting peace is to get tough and show
the world that we are the greatest power ever. The outcome, if any
of them take the office of president, is inevitable. War! And each
war has become bloodier and more violent than the last.
Look closely at the Big Ten Republicans and look also at the
Democrats candidates. Can you see a single one who is promoting
peace? Every war has begun with the promise that once it has been
won, peace will reign. But time is running out. Perhaps after one
more really big war, peace will reign. Too bad we won't be there to
