kunstler nails it in his description of the dumocorps in this latest essay but only hits the surface. he could have done an equally complete blast on the rethuglicorps but that may have lost the focus of it all. we've got an almost totally corrupt 'governing' body in charge of us which has also pulled the wool over many eyes, successfully. they all need to be cleaned out but that won't happen within the framework of this political system as it now operates;
