OK, a lesson in democracy (well relative democracy) that people don't tell you. You know why relative democracy is so successful and indeed increasingly popular? Because relative democracy gives people just enough that they will take it in the ass and wont cause any problems. If people are starving they'll fucking riot until they get food, they'll be prepared to die to make their point to their government. You people, well, you have your low paid jobs, your family, your Pop Idol, alcohol, drugs, football, social issues like abortion, separation of church and state, are video games hurting our kids, is Brittney Spears insane, general consumption of unnecessary goods which make us rich and you don't actually need, tax rebates that make you think you've won something when all you've done is get back a small portion of what you gave us, and of course the greatest of them all, patriotism, the list goes on and on. We know, we made it.

A lot of you know you're being played, but you still wont do anything about it. You know why? Cos the world is full of winners and losers, guess which you are?
