American Oligarchy

There is no doubt that the United States is headed away from the most important experiment with democracy in the history of humankind, and its government of, by, and for the people.

But what happens next?  Does this country become just another banana republic?  I doubt it.

Will we ultimately be the force that enables the fossil fuel industry to bake our home planet?

Again, I doubt it.  I believe that Americans, despite our massive ignorance due to our crumbling educational system, will eventually turn this disaster around.
