unfortunately politics for the masses is an EMOTIONAL issue and not entirely an intellectual one.
people will kill based on emotional knee-jerk reactions, but will remain completely oblivious to major fraud and crime when it is presented in a rational, systematic manner.
in the end politicians and the elite feel superior to the masses because the masses really are not capable of facing reality.. they do not want to wake up from their lull.
There's an image of people in the london subway, seemingly looking in disbelief at the explosions thinking 'this is not really happening..it only happens in movies.. it's a fluke' those same people are subsequently engulfed in explosions moments later.
the whole idea that these things only happen in foreign countries, and the emotional detachment actually aids the terrorism because it comes as a shock.
if people were aware of how governments really work..they would interpret such things in a much simpler and more realistic manner..
governments, on the good side, are using techniques which are too old for the information age.
anyone who wants to share information now can do so through the internet.. that is until they pull the plug.. and they will eventually if the scum floating on top of society is not eradicated.
rumsfeld wrongly killed not one but hundreds of thousands through his actions while in power, and all he got was money.
what does that tell you about the state of politics?
