I get where you're coming from, Jericho, I guess it's just a matter of HOW disenfranchised you've become. I know that this most recent Ron Paul fiasco has me questioning whether or not voting really matters anymore. The media steer the sheeple in the direction that their overlords want... It's a polished routine, and it works. I voted Ron Paul this time around, but I question if he ever even wanted the job. My gut says no. Rand Paul? I'm not so sure either. Hope and Change, right?
I know I'm coming across as a dick...but it's not like I haven't pondered the shit...I'm saying. I don't mean it..as negative either..but man...it's pretty obvious democracy is illusion. It doesn't really work. It's lip service.
I like Ron Paul...but he's getting old and he's not holy roller enough for the right wing...he is now representing. There is no way...he is/was going to become president. Even if he did...nothing would change. This country was built on slave labor and special interests. Both are needed....and still...exist. You can not...get around that...even if you are superman. Industry will always own politics.
You must realize....as long as there are people willing to have faith in religion and politics...it's just going to continue to be...the same thing over and over and over......by design. Been this way for 1000s of years. It was figured out by the ruthless personalities..as soon as man built walls..and became civilized.
I'm doing my own thing...a happy nobody...unconcerned about people as a collective. I'm totally faithless...but that's a good thing
