    I think of all politicians as lying, cheating bastards that want nothing but power and control over people. I throw all of them into one pigeonhole. Is this a prejudism? Is hating all politicians like hating all jews or all black people or all women? Should I stand back and take a good look at myself and what's become of my attitude? Or is this something that a lot of people concur with and encourage? It's just that when I look back on history, I see no good that has come out of the hands of politicians. All they've ever done is take ordinary civilians, put guns in their hands, and convinced them that they have a duty to kill other civilians for some obscure and poorly argued cause. The only good that's ever come out of the activity of mankind has been when the people revolted against politicians or groups of people in power.

    Do people agree or am I an irrational biggot?

    your forgetting that they make their livings off doing that. Which makes it even worse i think. I dont think all of thats true as i believe the founding fathers did a remarkable job with the situation at the time. Though politicians today on the most part i totally agree. Even the fucking congress bastards that sit around all day practically doing nothing, probably doped up on pharmaceuticals. Like signing the patriot act without reading it, what the fuck is wrong here.

    The thing is i dont understand why so many fucking brainless retards support mccain, romney, all the same bullshit. They say these speeches that are so broad they never deliver shit because they're actions are usually completely against what they say in speeches.

    I just mean the hypocrisy of the drug war as one example. Maybe how they always act like they are for schools and stuff but then give saudi arabia 10 billion dollars to battle Iran. Whilst continuing to waste billions on the war on marijuana alone. Meanwhile in between every commercial break pharmaceutical ads convince retarded parents they or theyr children have insomnia, depression, and anxiety.

    Well i think the whole situation is pretty fucked.

    I see six question marks in your post and you are from Alberta.

    It's safe to say that you are undecided.

    I guess I would rather judge politicians for their individual deeds, but when they all spin the facts, I wouldn't trust anything they said just b/c they said it. I think skepticism is responsible when listening to politicians and their plans, b/c they are trying to sell you a product, their ideology so they will always push the good parts and ignore any bad.

    Would you believe EVERYTHING a salesperson or infomercial claimed? Perhaps you should apply the discrimination you use when you are being sold a product to politicians.

    Peace and love

    Prejudice? naw correct is more like it.
    Evolving into what we fight against.We dont want dictatorship,but thats what our government is doing.
    Ask yourself,how old is this counrty?=232 years old.Not old at all.
    But yet we know whats best for everyone,around the world.
    Who has screwed up this counrty?=politicians or citizens? Hmmmm
    Policy's are meant to govern,politicians create policy's
    Govern-ment governs=contolls,limits,guides in a direction and actions.
    Jails do the same thing.Contoll,limit,guides in a direction,and actions.
    I am willing to bet that unless the citizens get involved in taking back thier controll,this country will never be seen or function as the free democratic country we once were.Kiss more of your freedoms goodbye in the near future,you can bet on it.
    The people built this country,and the politicians have destroyed it.
    When we are supressed by the government,we are doing something they know will shine light on the dirty deeds committed by them.Why else would they surpress it?
    Its time to take the trash out.
    IMHO Peace BULL
