56. I don't know what is with you people ...
but when is it going to dawn on you that everything you think you have a say in is a lie.

We don't pick who leads us. We're not even in the equation other than to be dupes for the powers that be that give us the illusion we have a say. Kucinich was way ahead of all so-called "best" candidates and was crushed before he could get started. Edwards with his populace message is now experiencing same. It's just not as blatant because he was once a legitimate VP candidate.

It's a farce. Our whole country is a farce. You're being lied to every minute, every second of the day.

But how can so many so-called educated leaders all be so wrong? Why are their polices seemingly hell-bent on destroying all that is suppose to be good for the people promoted? Why after being elected does nothing change? Does one lose all commonsense and ability to act rationally once they take an oath to office? It would seem so - or is it?

Keep in mind that power corrupts and those in power also have access to information most don't. Legislators are just people with the same survival instincts we all have. So place yourself in their position. What if you where to find out that the world as we know it is going to change dramatically shortly. That all resources to sustain life will become rare, food, water oil, medicine all scarce. Would you shout this from the floor of the House and create panic and be most likely ridiculed or worse? Or would you quietly and secretively put you and your family in a position where you will be among the lucky elite to survive?

This economic collapse was inevitable and calculated. It will not get better. Not next week, not six-months, not ever. While we struggle to survive as wars for dwindling natural resources will expand and about the time oil runs out look for a pandemic to sweep the world of the remaining population where only the chosen few will have to vaccine.

Our so-called representatives aren't as stupid as they seem. they're just trying to survive.
