Why America Isn't "The Greatest Nation on Earth"

You're afraid, all of you, deathly afraid of the power your government has over you. It's alright, I'm a little scared myself. In a "democracy", the "demo-" is supposed to be in charge. What the heck is a "demo-"?? You are! "Demo-" is the people. Now let's face it folks, the government is not being run by people. The government is, in fact, run by politicians. Now, many of you may wonder what exactly a politician is. We at The Haven have been working around the clock on this and we believe we have found an answer. As far as we can tell, politicians did, at one time, have ancestors that could easily be identified as "people". Over the years however, with the glorious advent of the "free market economy" and the almighty dollar, we see a new breed walking around.

At first glance, a politician is no different from a regular person. Eyes, ears, mouth, arms, legs, torso, and some outer appendages which resemble hands and feet. The main difference seems to be neurological or possibly faith based. You see, the outer appendages resembling hands do not serve exactly the same purpose as hands on a real person. Politician "hands" are used solely for feeling through your pockets and other personal belongings to find and grasp onto any and all money you may have to your name. The lower appendages, the ones resembling feet, are just for show. Politicians must look as much like real people as possible to make it easier to get real people to vote for them. Once they're in place and acquiring money from their constituency, they will have more than enough to pay someone else to do all the walking for them. This designated walker is likely a real person who, for unknown reasons, wishes to cross over and become a politician. Perhaps they're just tired of walking for themselves.

In any case, I would not be opposed to a civil war, one in which the real people take on the politicians. Fortunately, we have them at an advantage, they're unclear on how to use they're hands for anything other than seeking out and acquiring money from people, while we are fully capable of pulling triggers on the automatic assault rifles our politicians graciously allow us to carry. There's no doubt in my mind that we would win, but from there, we would have to find a way to keep certain sects of our society from attempting to gain and abuse power.

In all honesty, we've given our government a lot of power. Way more than it needs to carry out the tasks we want it to. Our government is supposed to be ours to shape and mold and improve. Yet, with all the power we've given it, we can't help but stand idly by while they seek out the opinions of people willing to pay lots of money to be heard. Why are we so afraid? What do we think they might do if we told them to stop? We need to stand up to these guys. They're screwing things up and we're running out of energy to fight them. It's more than going to vote once every 2-4 years. There are laws in place that don't belong, start "breaking" them. There are loopholes that exist that need to be filled, start exploiting them! The fastest way to get what you want is to take it yourself, so stop acting like you have no control, because you do.

The only reason this country needs a leader, a "big-cheese", is so that there is a "man" for us to "stick it to". So join me, won't you all, in sticking it to the man in 2008.
