Not surprising that someone munching on the teat of those plutocrats makes no mention of how this solidifies the imbalance of power in this state. The bright side is that they're dumping resources on to a sinking ship and that more progressive, socially conscious thinkers are not on it. What's your deal? Are you just a bystander? Trying to remain objective amongst a primitive tribe? "It's hard not to interfere when you see a few powerful people torturing the commoners (maybe because the wet bar on their alotian golf cart is out of ice?) and not giving anything substantive back. But that's their culture and ours is not to interfere. We're just observers." Is that it? Seriously, it would be interesting to read about your thoughts on what it means to you to have the richest people in the state controlling more and more of the media and what your role in this is.

What’s your deal? Are you just a bystander? Trying to remain objective amongst a primitive tribe? “It’s hard not to interfere when you see a few powerful people torturing the commoners (maybe because the wet bar on their alotian golf cart is out of ice?) and not giving anything substantive back.

The news is making us Arkansans look bad with the publicity that we have received so far with the first $100,000 winner facing sex and drug charges. Then this lady tops the cake with the old cut and paste. Great Blog Lance, keep up the good work!
