You really must check out LittleSis, a new crowd-sourced website that documents the relationships of the people in power (the collective "Big Brother," if you will). Collected all in one place is enough information to really hammer home the point that a small group of people are running our country and the world. See all of Condoleezza Rice's board memberships and alma maters, and then judge her actions in a different light. Or find out that a man named Peter Rouse is working for Obama, used to work for HHS Secretary nominee Tom Daschle, and gave $1,000 to Tony Knowles' 2004 Alaskan senate campaign. All at the click of a button. It may not do anything to fix the problem of the small cabal of elites really running the country (then again, that's probably better than a large mass of average people, when you get right down to it), but at least you'll know who is in the cabal that is making your decisions for you. And knowing is half the battle.
