Oh wowzer, another campaign. More idiotic rhetoric from another slate of idiotic candidates. William Wallace, where are you when you are needed the most? It is small wonder why the citizens of this country are becoming more and more apathetic to the process of democracy. Oh course, it would help if we had a democracy. Does anyone truly believe what we have here has any resemblance of what our founding fathers dreamed up?
Dictionary definition of democracy: "government by the people; a form of government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised directly by them or by their elected agents under a free electoral system. " Clearly not a picture of our current form of government. With each passing day the federal government becomes more centralized, more controlling, more totalitarian. Surely no one believes we are participating in a representative governance.
Why is it the candidates we get to select from are basically morons? The answer of course is because the citizens have been so dumbed down, we have morons voting for morons. What we need is another tea party, but good luck with that. In addition to their lack of historical reference and inability to think independantly, Americans have become too complacent. In any case, the election process is symbolic at best, and one needs only to look at the last few presidencial elections for confirmation. Just look at the slate of candidates we had to choose from and the candidate who was selected. Good grief, if that is not enough to cause you to want to throw up, then you are part of the problem.
Maybe its time to move to Australia, gotta love John Howard.
