    You are bang on Mr.Sirota.Now what do we do?I feel powerless against Big Business and Big Government.I write.I vote.I argue,but to what ends?Now I know what it was like to be black in this country.Nobody listens to me and nobody cares.I guess I will have to riot in the streets like black people did.Not much of a riot with just one person though and still no one will listen.
