re: #296 The Sanity Inspector

Engraved on the tombstones of many a late democracy.

we have a society of entitlement way out of proportion and they vote according to their gifts from the feds…we have a society where the minority supports the majority through relentless taxation…productivity is penalized and pandering is the name of the game…we have a culture of TV junkies that depend on Glenn Beck to decide for them how to think about issues…we have a culture far more enlightened with Am Idol than with even local political issues, and they vote…a very few shape what we think and therefore how we vote…the whole system has lost any veil of integrity…there are more thieves and liars in Congress per capita than on main street USA….the system is fucked up badly because voters are ignorant and allow it to happen…what are you doing to save your democracy and how effective is it?
