Greed vs. Humanity

I haven't posted for a while due to some technical problems. I've been enjoying watching the political scene. The whole thing is such a facade. I have come to believe that greed is the common element in all socio-political endeavors today. Politicians say the things that will get them elected. Once they are elected they vote and create the legislation that their financial supporters desire. Greed is responsible for many of our woes. Our automobiles get poor gas mileage so that the oil companies and automakers can make more money. We are poisoned by over-processed foods that have been genetically altered to produce higher yields and therefore more profits for the giant food conglomerates. Our children are becoming the "obese generation" as consumers of the fast foods as taunted by Madison Avenue. All in the name of profits.
