You do realize your vote is irrelevent don't you? Theres this thing you see, it's called the electoral college... Its members are who elect the president, and while they are encouraged to vote as the people they represent do, they are not forced to... I'm saddened to hear you're so ignorant of your own country's government...
Besides you contradict yourself, you say the majority rules, then say the officials represent the laws I want, sadly it's untrue.

 

[Those politicians represent what laws YOU want. I'm saddened to hear you don't know/care anything about your government.

If you disagree with the laws, make a difference. Vote.

And on that note, I'm outta here. Have a good night, y'all.[/QUOTE]children can't vote, and politicians are controlled by special interest groups. additionally, if people gave a shit enough about keeping kids from smoking, then they'd keep their kids from smoking--period. anti-smoking groups push all that legislation, and the government gets money from taxing cigarettes and from fining tobacco companies, so it all works out.
