ooh yeah, nice one, spiff..
Democracy sounds great, but the maxim that we get the politicians we deserve is never truer considering the influence of oil and drug company lobbyists, exerting influence on the elected representatives of peoples deliberately misinformed and manipulated by a media largely controlled and own by mega-corporations, in whom interests it is to have a fearful, overworked, undereducated and ignorant proletariat... That is the reality of democracy in the US today, where, sadly, it is probably in its most advanced form..Most extremely proved unworkable in California, where the process of opening up voting on thousands of minor issues to the voting public, rather than responsible, effective representative leaders has stultified any meaningful progress.
