Mitt Romney Announces Paul Ryan as VP Candidate

Well, at least there is little gray area here.  Either people are deep into the choice or they are completely against it.  No surprise here given the great divide in our country that currently exists.  The Ryan selection is just further evidence of great shifting views essentially deciding how we should run our society.  The perspective varies on this so greatly that there is sure to be a pulling apart of some kind no matter which side wins the election.  In fact, Martin Gilens of Princeton U. and author of  "Affluence & Influence: Economic Inequality and Political Power in America" wrote "In a democracy, all citizens—the rich, middle-class, poor alike—must have some ability to influence what their government does. Few people would expect that influence to be identical: those with higher incomes and better connections will always be more influential. But if influence becomes so unequal that the wishes of most citizens are ignored most of the time, a country’s claim to be a democracy is cast in doubt."  We just may be living in the time of a tug-of-war between "democracy" vs. "corporatocracy"-meets-tight reigns. Fasten your seatbelts, and place your bets.
