the question that raises for me, timber, is this: is democracy the biggest con job in history? the ruling class is, in all practical terms, a closed society that makes all the decisions and does so primarily with selfish concerns and with relative impunity.
giving us plebes the right to vote has been an opiate that allows most of us to sit back and remain uninformed and uninvolved. almost half of americans dont even take advantage of the right to vote in elections at the federal level. and even more primarily get their news from sources controlled by the same special interests that are working with those getting elected/re-elected.
