It's almost the mid-term elections in the old US of A, and I would have to say that I'm
stoked. Our democratic system is the single greatest system in the history of the universe, which is why democracy is our chief export. It's even better because now corporations are able to donate endless funds to politicians who lack principle (equivalent to meth addicts without self-control). The greatest thing about our democracy is that it's so streamlined that candidates can simply rely on catch phrases and a die-hard extremist core of party supporters, leaving the vast majority of people, who view a broken system with disenchantment, sitting on the sidelines. In this country, we prove every day that democracies can function better when our politicians lurk under the shade of night and keep potential voters as distanced and unknowing as possible, than when all citizens vote for a government that can truly be called representative.
