Elections

I don't like elections, at least not in a socially and economically stratified society. It seems to me a half measure clearly meant to trick the lower classes into thinking that there is equality, which is pretty far from the truth. People get to go play at democracy once in awhile, yes. They vote for which representative of the elites they like best, and then go home feeling that their civic duty has been fulfilled. Well, as far as I'm concerned, if something makes you feel good and it doesn't hurt anyone, then far out. The problem is though, that our elected officials have the most powerful military and economic machine ever conceived and they use it to be international ticksters. They exploit, murder, incorporate, subsidize, utilize and oppress people all over the planet, including many segments of our own society. Since we are so proud of telling the world how great and perfect our form of democracy is, people think that Americans must like our leaders or else we wouldn't keep electing them. So naturally they blame us for all the insidious machinations of the moneyed classes which runs this corpora...sorry...I mean country. Well, if you really want to show the world that you don't support it, maybe instead of voting and complaining about the result you should consider not voting at all. The corporations run this country, that much is undeniable. It is their power that chooses which person gets into office, not ours. So why keep playing this redundant game? I'm bored of checkers, lets play chess.
