Now, now. Just how as a culture did we get to this point?
Well, STUPIDITY was a major contributor for sure. And it appears that “WE” are rather exceptional in this field from Tubularsock’s point of observation.
Our identifiers are all well organized. Yet their meanings are so manipulated that the old adage, “BUYER BEWARE” should be your guiding principle.
For example. DEMOCRACY.
“The common people, considered as the primary source of political power.”
OK. That is pretty humorous when considered in reality.
So let’s try, “Government by the people, exercised either directly or through elected representatives.”
Hmmmm, sounds good BUTTTT ………………
You know better than THAT! Yet, it too is rather funny.
Of course the definitions of how it all works is just a bit different from the reality.
The REALITY of how it all works is simple:
The rich and powerful purchase THEIR government official and present that “official” as the leader the citizen gets to freely vote for or against in the election.
Our two party system allows TWO officials to run against each other each representing established thought patterns that are reliable and profitable for the ruling elite.
Thereby the “people” have their say. Neat!
Because we are a “free” society third parties are welcome to run but the rules for running are controlled by the TWO parties and the TWO parties also controls who can debate officially.
This way the system created PROTECTS any outside dangerous thoughts from being discussed let along “voted” for within the system.
With Kennedy running as a third party contender way ahead of others puts him automatically out of the Two Party Duopoly “approved” basket and thereby disregarded in the system.
Williamson, West, and Stein too are tossed to the side.
Do you see any “democracy” yet in this process?
Feel safe?
YOU AS A CITIZEN have no more REAL POWER than a citizen in China or Russia.
Oh sure, you have been TOLD you have and you have been told that in a Democracy the majority rules ……… Tubularsock loves the absurd.
Case in point, the Israeli Government are carrying out a GENOCIDE against the Palestinian people and the U.S. is providing the bombs. Which makes the US as GENOCIDAL as the Israelis!
The MAJORITY of Americans want a ceasefire in the Israeli war with the Palestinians.
Yet the U.S. Government still is providing the bombs to assist this GENOCIDE.
So much for the majority concept.
Seems there just isn’t as much money to be made having PEACE than having WAR.
An age old reality.
Yet, it could kill you.
But rest assured that there will ALWAYS be a State Department Member or Congressperson who is willing to WRITE A STERNLY WORDED LETTER OF CONDEMNATION against war as they continue to send bombs.
Funny part is they don’t see the contradiction in their actions.
So much for the majority concept.

TRUE, they aren’t the brightest crayons in the box.
