Politicians don't control this country. There are good "conservatives" and good "liberals". There are also bad ones, on both sides. Bad means evil, it means they lie and cheat and steal and want to do the rest of us in. But the bottom line is that politicians don't control this country. The people with the money control it. You have to understand that someone who takes money from someone else and is not willing to do something in exchange for the money (i.e. work) is called a "criminal". The only people that think they should get money for nothing are criminals. The only people that forward the idea that other people should get money for nothing are criminals. This is a very simple thing for you to understand. It's also important, because at the point where a society has gone the way of the criminals, the society is lost. Politics is an ancillary issue. Religion is an ancillary issue. The actual issue is Good vs. Evil. Very simple. Money talks, and bullsheet walks. Take your friend John Kerry, for example. He's very wealthy, right? So is Howard Dean. (I know Howard, by the way, and he is a good man. I'd never vote for him, but I'd like to see him again some time, because he's a good man.) So are all the other candidates. They are ALL wealthy. Do you for one moment think that Kerry, or Dean, or Al Sharpton, or any of the rest of them, would give his or her money to someone who wasn't interested in working for it? If you do, you dream. Kerry is an honest man, and I doubt very seriously if he would knowingly contribute to a criminal. The people with the money control the planet. That's the way it's been for a long, long time. It's not going to change. Some of them are good, some are evil. The first thing you need to do is learn how to tell the good guys from the bad guys. If you yourself are a criminal, you'll never be able to do that. Step One is to get your own sheet straight. You'll need to just start operating from the viewpoint that you, not someone else, are responsible for whatever condition you're in, good or bad. Not George Bush, or the Pope, or Jay Leno, or Saddam Hussein, or Daffy Duck, or your ex-husband (bless his soul), or anyone else but you. Does that make sense to you? If not, then we have no common ground on which to debate.
