Politicians
Everybody complains about politicians. Everybody says they suck. But where do people think these politicians come from? They don’t fall out of the sky. They don’t pass through a membrane from another reality. They come from our society’s families, our society’s homes, our society’s churches, our society’s businesses, our society’s schools and universities, and they are elected by citizens. This is the best we can do! It’s what we have to offer. It’s what our systems produce. Garbage in, garbage out. If we have selfish, ignorant citizens then we are going to get selfish, ignorant leaders. Term limits won’t do any good. We’ll just wind up with a brand new bunch of selfish, ignorant politicians. So maybe - maybe - it’s not the politicians who suck. Maybe something else sucks around here - like, the public. Yeah, the public sucks. There’s a nice campaign slogan for someone. “The public sucks, screw hope!” Because if it’s really just the fault of all these politicians, then where are all the other bright people of conscience? Where are all the bright, honest, intelligent citizens ready to step in and save the nation, and lead the way? We don’t have people like that. Everybody is either at the mall, scratching his ass, picking his nose, taking his credit card out of his fanny pack and buying a pair of sneakers with lights in them, or they’re at home playing games on a computer screen.
