I just watched New Minas diary titled "Bill Moyers: The End of Democracy". This should be a must watch for everyone in this country. http://www.dailykos.com/...
In this video, Mr. Moyers calls out 3 questions that should always be asked and honestly answered whenever any change (local/national/personal/professional) is being proposed.
1. Who will win and who will loose if this change is made?
2. Who will profit from this change and who will pay for the change?
3. Who will be listened to and who will be ignored when evaluating this change?
If we all start asking these questions, all the time, maybe we can increase the objective, critical thinking that is often lacking in current media reporting, political discourse, etc. and get more people to start thinking and acting in their own best interest.
I'm going to do my part, hope others will join me.
