I laughed. Our government here isn't exactly trustworthy or morally stable either. Too often we hear from our elected officials how they'll do one thing and they'll do the opposite. If you question their actions you get spin, spin, and more spin. For myself I want honesty from the get-go. If a politician smoked pot then say so. Don't hem and haw and look at your poll ratings to determine your answer.

Well, I'll generalize and state that likely most governments suffer from the same predicament of interpretive morality and a fair level of corruption. After all, the First Rule of any government is simple: stay in power - keep the system. So, for us, switching from Democrats to Republicans doesn't change things all that much. Bush just happens to be a crappy Republican President, like we've had crappy Democratic Presidents. I would prefer a good Republican to a crappy Democrat but there aren't any of either party right now. Third party? Forget it - the Big Two have made damn sure a third party won't gain a true foothold in our political system because of the above First Rule.

True revolution comes bloodily from the people and, frankly, the American people are too freakin' braindead from their TVs, video games, iPods, and constant electronic brain numbing to achieve any decent change. Pity that.
