Systematic Larceny
Egyptian dictator Mubarak's offer to investigate corruption in his administration, while preposterous to Egyptians who've lived under his 30-year tyranny, is no more ridiculous than US President Obama's promise of change in Washington. As Obama and friends celebrate Reagan's centennial, the continuity of systematic larceny instituted by Reagan -- that forms the core of the Obama agenda -- locks in corporate corruption of government that is arguably the equal of any tyranny on earth. The fact this is accomplished with little effective opposition only speaks to the passivity of American citizens, made possible by the psychological control of mass media.
