Voted : Other comment
I saw it coming years ago, unfortunately the right have used the media to push the american dream, but the thing about dreams, you have to be asleep and many citizens have been put to sleep for a long time.
As for people voting, its only true if the votes are counted aren't in control of family members in Florida. How many have had their voting rights expunged for dubious reasons. The disenfranchising began the day the neocons took charge... ... and the election in November wont throw up many surprises. Remember it doesnt matter who you vote for, the politicians always get in.
I think this is why I created ballot #101603 You aren't powerless. There are many ways to effect change even in the current environment.
Most of you said you weren't powerless, but the response on this ballot appears to say something entirely different.
Change will never come by sitting at a computer and complaining about it. People have more power than they want to give themselves credit for. But if they dont give themselves credit for it, it makes it easier to point the finger and say "it's not my fault, I didnt cause it".
If voting is tampered with and the right control the media, how is change to come about short of revolution.
What a brilliant ballot and pic, well done Mags (o:
Sadly, it's not just the right that controls the media.
Brilliant ballot Mags, love the Madison Quote, it's someone's Mad son realising Madison's worst fears!
Voted : There is no oligarchy
While I would be lying if I said the government wasn't greatly influenced by the rich and priveleged, the people still, ultimately, control the fate of their government.
