I find myself ever more disgusted with politics and media these days. What is covered, and more irritatingly, not covered by politicians and media hucksters is mind numbing.

The following is an article about poverty in America that was published in England, of all places. One could hardly imagine why?

We keep hearing in the media about rioting in London and whatnot, but what media outlets fail to print or acknowledge is the growing unrest here at home.

The claim is that these are just unruly people, and this type of unrest will not be tolerated and we need more policing.
What this fails to acknowledge, is the link to poverty and unemployment.
Hello? Wake up call, is that you?
The French Revolution happened for a reason. Are we in America, and the world, reaching a tipping point?
