As long as 'they' are able to keep the lemmings feeling like victims, jealous and focused on trivia they can buy and have been buying their votes for decades. F@#k the generations to come, we're leaving them windmills and electric cars.

Hey, when did you join the Occupy Movement?!

In my youth, I considered my Dad's view of politicians to be incredibly cynical, but it only took time and attention for my opinion of them to mirror his (again, with rare exceptions). Anyone who isn't cynical about big government isn't paying attention.

Id at least like my next vote for prez not be viewed as 'throwing away' my vote, like in the last two elections.

Talked to one of the leads of the Libertarian Party of Vanderburgh Co. Southern Indiana recently. He told me that the party has no structure whatsoever despite having a strong Pres. Candidate.

Nothing is going to work unless these guys gets some backing.
