Reply #6: Our so-called democratic process is a joke ... if it weren't

Al Gore would be the President, there'd be no war in Iraq, the economy would benefit those who contribute vs those who steal from those who contribute, we'd support the value of families vs family values, health care would not equate to filling the pockets of insurance and pharmaceutical companies, NCLB would never have made it to a vote and public education would be given the financial support and respect it deserves, and on and on.

But, we live in a celebrity/fame obsessed, wealth controlled, M$M manipulated society whose consumers (aka average Americans) continually allow themselves to be used and manipulated because, IMO, it's easier for them to scrape together two nickels than to actually stand up for themselves.
