If you're in the mood for some shrill, shrieking commentary on what's wrong in America, TruthDig has a pretty deep article on what some people think is the root cause.
Our oligarchic class is incompetent at governing, managing the economy, coping with natural disasters, educating our young, handling foreign affairs, providing basic services like health care and safeguarding individual rights. That it is still in power, and will remain in power after this election, is a testament to our inability to separate illusion from reality. We still believe in “the experts.” They still believe in themselves. They are clustered like flies swarming around John McCain and Barack Obama. It is only when these elites are exposed as incompetent parasites and dethroned that we will have any hope of restoring social, economic and political order.
There are some interesting concepts floated, but I'm not sure I agree with most of them. It makes for a novel bit of thinking, though.
