I've Lived Long Enough To See The Triumph Of Zealots And Absolutists, To Watch Money Swallow Politics, To Witness The Rise Of The Corporate State. See The Party Of Working And Poor People Become A Sycophant Of Crony Capitalism. Watch The Union Of Church And State Become Fashionable Again. Witness The Coupling Of News And Entertainment. See Everyday People Cast Overboard As The Pirates And Predators Of Wall Street Seized The Ship Of State. I Didn't Drift; I Moved Left Just By Standing Still.
