>>Democracy is an interesting political system, especially the republican form. You vote for someone to “represent you” and they do so with "no self-interest"! Gaining and keeping a political office may involve the use of corruption, lies, pay offs, distorting facts, and undermining the opponent. A good personality helps some candidates.

>>The masses are ignorant of reality. Reality exists in the minds of our leaders. We elected them therefore they know what is best. If you do not like what a political leader has done then vote him/her out of office. That is the American thing to do!

>>Sometimes we do not have to vote for or against a political office holder. No sir, the court will do that for us. The voters also will vote for or against an issue put before them and again the court will decide the outcome.

>>The voters are of little or no importance. When LBJ ran for political office the first time he lost to an old time Texas politician. It turned out that more votes were cast then there were registered voters. The reason for this was simple. That old time Texas politician had received votes from voters that had been dead for years! Next time LBJ ran for office he made sure he had more votes from dead voters than the opposition! :)

>Well Tom, considering that 99% of the births that have occurred since the cessation of the ice age are currently living, that makes the dead a true minority. They deserve a seat at the table too, even if they aren't in very presentable condition, wouldn't you agree?

Hay, be careful what you say about the dead. Some of my best friends are dead. Well, more like the living changed.
