Ethical Populism vs. Corporate Serial Criminality

Populist ETHICAL rage is the best thing that could have happened to America.

Corporate serial criminality has sickened the majority of ordinary earn-your-livelihood americans (yes, lower case a, please) like me.

We are now focused on the universal human right to the pursuit of happiness through fairness, equality, social and economic justice.

ETHICAL POPULISM, in contrast to the rah-rah military adventurism and market unregulation of the 8 years-too-long W regime, will hopefully play a major role in keeping this new President ethical and accountable.

Obama doesn't have the expertise or the experience, he's been a team player all his life, to do it all by himself. Democracy is NOT a one-man show. Obama fumbled, he "screwed up" and the american people expressed their outrage at the unpalatable prospect of business as usual.

ETHICAL POPULISM. I celebrate its tentative return.
