Where is good government?

My guess is that if we keep electing Republicans and Democrats to Congress, we'll get more of the same. Gridlock. Doesn't matter whether they are liberal or conservative or moderate. They're all inept. From both sides of the aisle. They're part of a stinking, rotten political system. They've sold their souls to the corporate and big-money interests. The occasional revolutionary (Dennis Kucinich) that tries to change the system has no chance. He's isolated. Scoffed at. Ridiculed. Yes, by the powerbrokers. And they manipulate the media, too. They shape public opinion. With sound bites. They've learned how to control empty minds. We are largely a nation of robots. We do as directed. We even vote against our own best interests. Doesn't make sense. But then, that's the way the game is played. Won't change. Until some of us get mad enough to take to the streets. To topple the government. And even then, there's no assurance that things will get much better. We just haven't figured out the mystery yet. Maybe there is no such thing as good government. Certainly not when it's run by politicians. --Jim Broede
