These days folks are on edgetaking offence at every real or perceived insult towards their country. Rampant flag waving., my country better than yours, low tolerance for debate and difference of opinion. All in the name of patriotism.
Some have said patriotism is the last refuge of the … meaning folks invest too much energy in Rah-Rah flag waving. Without doing constructive actions that result in peace and harmony.
Against that back drop today’s interview conducted by one of the most decent journalists Bill Moyer of Bernie Sanders one of the most decent politicians is a must see.
6 pm Pacific time Sunday. Google Bill Moyer for details. You should be able yo see this on the web in next day or two. Or check local channels PBS I think.
Just for an hour escape the world of jingoism. You wont regret it. Irrespective of where you fall in political spectrum.

Today's guest talked about Superpacs and C4 shell corporations. At least I did not know the extent to which money flows into campaigns w/o legal requirement for money to be traced.
Superpacs have to reveal donors and are limited to 2500$ each. If a C4 shell Corp is created billionaires can donate whatever they want. C4 does not have to reveal donor name. C4 can then give money to superpac. And C4 only has to reveal what they raised to the IRS AFTER the election.
