Pete Ferron at The Shrugging Out Podcast performed a brilliant satire on The Ruling Class of Washington, District of Criminals. The premise of the one-man-show is a conference call between the Federal Director of Communications and all Federal employees. Great satire depends on a kernel of truth, and Pete gives the whole cob.

Pete has reached the same conclusion I have, namely that my point of view will not carry the day. We are optimists and true-believers, probably radicals, but that does not preclude us from seeing reality for what it is.

I am beginning to appreciate more and more the Cloward-Piven Strategy, except for the opposite reason they espouse. In my thoughtful judgement, the system simply cannot be fixed. That is not defeatism, I am an incurable optimist, but I do recognize the situation as dire and un-fixable unless vast swaths of the electorate chooses to disavow their bennies. That ain't gonna happen.
