So what. If things get worse because someone gets voted in that shouldnt be because of votes being taken away from the lesser of two evils then the next election and the one after that will keep getting more charged with people that are not going to tolerate the two party system sham that we have been apart of for who knows how long. Eventually something will give.
Vote your conscience, thats what's important.

EDIII I think we are all talking about the same thing. we are not talking about being a coward, we are just talking about knowing the places in which we need to apply pressure if its going to make a difference.

I hope that I can stand strong against my aggressors when that time comes. But im not stupid enough to reiterate over and over how I wont turn into a coward. No person really knows what he or she will do when faced in unknown situations. In fact its better not to know because when that time comes you wont be surprised by your own internal struggle.

Im sure you believe your version of Patriotism is a noble cause. The fact of the matter is those ideals have been co-opted by the power industries of this country. When you go to war in Afghanistan or Iraq you are serving a master who's only interest is taking resources from another country.

You talked about wars, I talked about how they dont serve anyone but the power elite in this country because they have control over our military.

Wars don't bring freedom and they don't bring peace. They just make it easier to commit crimes against humanity by playing on peoples fear of losing their illusion of freedom.

Its not the government that betrays its people, government was put in place by us for us. Unfortunately it was taken over by the elite a long time ago, maybe even before we settled here. The fact is the government is run by a small group of us that is only interested selfish gain. The look at everyone else as slaves on their plantation and work very hard to keep us in a herd mentality.

America is the greatest illusion of freedom that was ever created. People think that they are free because they are able to move around freely in the pen while talking amongst each other about which political part they support, or what war they fought in and which side they took and how it restored there so called freedom. Or maybe we feel free because we can walk from one side of the pen to the other and buy things at an inflated price, while those prices are artificially inflated by a money system that is so complex nobody really sees how that currency is used to funnel wealth from people that might make a difference to people that want to keep their power systems in place and have no interest in changing their views to a more spiritual, ethical and sustainable future.
You talk about wars giving people freedom; they donâ(TM)t do anything but mask whatâ(TM)s really going on behind the scenes. A concentrated effort to make people more susceptible to control so that the power elite can keep riding the gravy train at the expense of their own peopleâ(TM)s well being.
Your second paragraph makes more sense than the first one, ill give you that. But if you think we live in a country of freedom then you haven't been doing enough home work on how this country really operates.
People in power use both sides of an issue to keep people from making tough choices about their own free will. It happened in our civil war when banks took control over our currency, it happened during WWI WWII and its happening right now.

I like how you put "Patriotic American" in bold and italics. Like it means something. Patriotism is just another system of control used by people in power to get the masses to do things they wouldn't normally do. You and your family wasted your lives obeying a system of control that gives freedom to the wealth at the expense of the poor. The only freedom you see is a prison of lies and deceit that try to turn you in to a model citizen to serve the corporate rulers of this country. Im sorry its really time you need to wake up to the fact that freedom in America is a bold faced lie. It only exists in your mind. Try to do something that really sets people free and you will surely lose any freedom you think you have real quick.

Money is a byproduct of what you do to enrich the lives of others, no by controlling peoples consumption. Consumption is just a word to demean the experience of the customer finding things they like while compensating the creator for there direct contribution to their own experience.
