We have voted our opinions and trusted these people and every chance they get they screw the people that vote for them and empower themselves. There are no true choices because the people who get the money and are pushed by the press win. The honest guys that go out door to door and work their asses off for votes get ignored by the press and don't have the money to advertise.

And the people we do vote in, retire to work for the lobbyists, think tanks and people that happily make sure we the people stay obedient, docile and lethargic.

So if this country survives to 2010, we'll elect more the same because they have made it impossible for someone not in their good graces to win. Thus the people see no choices, lose hope and vote almost how the press tells them to.

Violence should be a last option, passive resistance, organized marches on DC, state capitols, county seats, city halls should be done. But that also takes money and people willing to take risks... neither of which are prevalent. The people who would march are economically scared to because of lost work and are scared of the very government officials they put into office. Homeless marching may make a difference but they are just trying to survive and the rich or the people profiting in the status quo, will do all they can to make sure no one organizes or is taken seriously, via the press, via using any means necessary.

People should not be afraid of those governing, those governing should be afraid of the people. Somewhere down the line this country lost sight of that.

It has been said and I am of the belief our government and the political parties controlling it took lessons from the Mafia in how to keep people quiet, scared and obedient.
