"It must be remembered that there is nothing more difficult to plan, more doubtful of success, nor more dangerous to manage, than the creation of a new system. For the initiator has the enmity of all who would profit by the preservation of the old institutions and merely lukewarm defenders in those who would gain by the new ones." Machiavelli
A national political convention, brought to you by our corporate sponsorsBy albany layman, Section Diaries
This post is not about local politics or events, but here is something that just perfectly captures an aspect of our political system. Check out this welcome bag that attendees of the Democratic National Convention in Denver will receive.
Perfect. Especially if you have been following the warrantless wiretapping story and the legislative changes to FISA, and the recent vote for immunity for corporations who broke the law. It won't be too long before this story turns out to be true, I guess. (Disclaimers, please note, I still think the Democratic party has better policies than the Republicans, I think there are representatives out there who are not complete corporate toadies, etc., etc. If there is a lesson in this, it's that it is important to have people on the outside of the parties who are harassing them and mocking them to be better representatives.)
