Title: The Best Democracy Money Can Buy

We are living in perilous times. There is an ongoing threat to the continued existence of humanity posed by the many 
thousands of thermonuclear weapons possessed by 9 countries. The US continues to dominate the world with its enormous 
military forces, that it uses frequently. The problem of global warming is being addressed in a half hearted, clearly 
inadequate, manner. There is no significant movement to deal with the problem of overpopulation, worldwide and within 
the US. Due to the near disappearance of effective American labor unions, illegal and legal immigration, and the 
export of industry, income of working people is very low. The super-rich (growing ever richer) control both major 
political parties.

My effort to explain the situation can be found at
