So what you are saying is we need to all stop spending money. Not pay our utility bills, house payments, drive cars, buy groceries or anything. Maybe we should all quit work as well since we won't need money because we will have nothing to spend it on. Well the world will always be consumer based, at least until someone invents the replicator from Star Trek. We cannot survive in this world without money which supports the "consumer capitalism".

As I said, all politicians are in it for themselves, that being said, we choose to support the ones who are doing the things we want which makes us think they are doing it for us. In reality they are doing it for themselves only and they pretend they are doing what we want them too. Then as the sheep we are, we believe they are working for us. This statement applies to Democrates as well as Republicans. I support Bush because he is doing the same thing I would do if I were in his place as far as the middle east is concerned, not because I believe he is doing it "for" me. Until there can be a better form of government in the US, this is what we have to work with so it is better not to have the illusion that they are working for us. Even though I seem to agree that we need a change in our form of government, I accept the fact that there will be no change made. A real change cannot be made in our government because that kind of change can only come from revolution and I do not condone that as yet.
