Stop making excuses for your selected representatives

[Indenturedebtor]

They are not cowards.

They are not ineffective.

They are not stupid.

They are not slaves to the media.

They are not slaves to polls.

They are not slaves to public opinion.

They are not working for you. Most of them work for the massive corporations that really call the shots. Until we all give up this fantasy about a representative democracy, and take a good look at who is running the show: nothing will change.
