It was pointed out that bankers in Iceland and China get arrested, jailed and/or excecuted because the legal system allows them to be punished. But in America and UK the bankers do the exact same things, and get away with it because they made sure to have had the laws changed first. So they did horribly wrong things, but nothing illegal. "Lawful" in this case requires a legal authority that works. Politicians are also the same people who write the laws. It is pretty easy to be lawful if it is designed to suit yourself.

There is no ifs about this, if you follow the law you ARE lawful, but do not make the mistake of thinking law=good, remember you can be lawful evil (a dictator that changes laws as he sees fit) or chaotic good (an anarchist with the good of the people at heart).

Yep! This is why the Congressional elections are far more important. Their power, compared to the president, is far greater. People basically follow the presidential elections as a Republican versus Democrat popularity contest. Focus on the House and Senate, they are the ones that really direct the country.

Indeed. Obama is certainly the lesser evil since his corporate backers (Big Content) can be defeated by the Internet. Romney is a tougher nut to crack, because his corporate backers (the military-industrial complex) cannot be defeated using the Internet.

And watch VERY carefully for voter suppression tactics (like unethical voter roll purges that make legitimate voters have to re-register or electronic systems that "fail")

Romney to seek Washington Post retraction
http://www.politico.com/blogs/media/...st-127441.html The Washington Post will not retract 'outsourcing' story http://www.politico.com/blogs/media/...ry-127466.html So my guess is than the story is based on enough true and probably enough damaging for the republican to ask the Washington Post to retract it.
