It has been clear to me my entire life that the majority of the people prefer to accept their fate and then moan about that fate rather than exercise the power that has been provided to them.
It is government by the people and for the people only when the people exercise it...but the majority of the people prefer just to moan and say "something needs to be done" and then do nothing themselves.
I seriously doubt that one person per thousand even know the name of their own Congressman or Senator...and that one in ten thousand has ever contacted their Congressman or Senator.

You're delusional old man. Time to take the dog and head for the hills. The only people who make it on the ballot in 99% of the cases are one of two sides each of which 1 or 2 pre-selected, bankrolled and promoted media created frontrunners are in. Where would an independent get the 1 billion dollars Obama will spend on his campaign? Not from Government Sachs hes got that sowed up.
