The depreseing fact of Amirican politics today is that our system of government leans to heavily upon the capital of corporations. Our Republic is based upon the influence of those with the most colateral to aford our representatives. Instead of representing the people that they are elected to speak for, they instead represent those who were able to fund thire campaign the most. The one major flaw of the Republic is this, and I am affraid that has indeed been the way since the constitution was drafted.

The constitution is a flawed document that panders to the rich and powerful. Granted amendments have altered the document to better represent the times. But the fact remains that it suits an entirely different world. We cannot forget that the original draft permited such things as slavery and exclusive rights to vote.

Yet the American Republic, it is a mistake to confuse our government for a democracy, for true democracy is anarchy, is a good system, the problem lies with the economic influences exerted to control us. Most Americans live without want or need, not like much of the world, and indeed it is our own econimic forces that perpetuates the continued hegemony over third world countries. Yet it is not just the third world that is under the grasp of Capitalism, the entire world is the subject of the greed for funds and resources so those of us living in a blooded luxery can scoff at those less fortunate and pander to the newest craze. We are blinded by our own thirst for things, and blinded by the corporate greed. We sustain our system by living it. Like a cyst growing on our face we simply cover it up and pretend it isnt there.
