In the world's (supposedly) greatest (supposedly) democracy, this is how legislation is done. What words are there? How have we sunk so low?
And, as surely as night follows day in the dictionary, it'll never change.
"The further a society drifts from the truth, the more it will hate those who speak it." Orwell
"“The price good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men.”
Plato
"The secret of freedom lies in educating people, whereas the secret of tyranny is in keeping them ignorant" Robespierre
What words are there? How about the assumption that the vast majority of politicians are dirty, lying, greedy, cheating bastards, along with their loving lobbyists. I've had my fill of it. I write the prez, and my reps all the time, with my concerns- all I get in return is patronized. I don't have a lobbyist- I'm fucked, along with the rest of us peons. What now?
