You're a lost cause.

Apparently you consider the vested corporate interests of the obscenely
wealthy minority 
more worthwhile than the long term stability and health of your own country.

Here's a clue.

The corporate interests and tiny obscenely wealthy minority of those 
in charge of the corporate interests involved in energy, aerospace 
and munitions could care less about the long term health and prosperity
of the nation.

They're in it for the $$$ here and now today and they've hoodwinked
the majority of Americans.

See as little as ten years ago over 60 corporations controlled
the main stream media, today it's six or less.

If you take the time to research those on the boards of directors
of those main stream media conglomerates you'll find a rather 
disconcerting overlap of those in energy, aerospance and munitions
and those media outlets.

But perhaps you're better off in the dark?
The truth can be and often is disturbing.

Sites exist that document this information.

Upon reflection Roy you're probably better off remaining in the dark,
it can be comfortable.

It's not in the long term best interests of the nation however.
