Good quote re U.S. election and "change"

Thought I'd post this quote from a recent article on the CounterPunch website, which beautifully sums up the absurd notions of "choice" and "change" when it comes to the current crop of U.S. presidential candidates:

"Good Lord, America is today nothing but corporations. Between its corporations and the countless colonial wars serving their interests, you pretty much have the central story of modern America.... No candidate can deliver great change to America, and if one were even to behave in office as though he or she could do that, one strongly suspects that he or she would meet the fate of the Kennedy brothers in fairly short order...."
