But is that not what a majority of our society wishes to have though?

If we keep having the lesser of 2 evils and all the smear that tells us how bad the other side is, then we, as a people, can blame everything going to Hell on them and not on ourselves. Even though we are responsible for what our leaders have become. When in a society like ours, I submit that when we lose faith in our government and find we can blame them for everything, then we as a society are dying out and the country we love will be lost and a shadow of itself (some may argue it is now.)

I think Kruschev said it best, "we will not have to invade you, we will not have to touch you, you will destroy yourselves from within."

It's like Ancient Rome, people can blame the emporers but was it not the people that could have changed the society from the Barrack room emporers, such as Caligula, Nero, Flavius, Claudius and so on. Look what they did to Ceasar when they believed he had become too big.
