Therapy

Have you ever been in a relationship that had issues brew and stew until finally someone says, "we need to talk?"

Dear federal government: We need to talk.  We need to talk about Wall St. and the banking system.  We need to talk about laws and regulations for corporations.  We need to talk about taxes.  We need to talk about the military.  We need to talk about the media.  We need  to talk about the political system.

Yes, we need to talk about our feelings.  We feel frustrated.  We feel disenfranchised.  We feel ignored.  We feel taken advantage of.  We feel left out.  We feel dehumanized.  We feel demoralized.

A number of people, myself included, have taken to the streets.  We have forced the issue.  We are expressing these feelings in a way that cannot be ignored.  The way we feel is not going to change any time soon.  We are not going anywhere until you convince us that you are listening and that you care about us.
