election eve

since it's election eve, here's another from the DiDacTicNaTioN vault. have you had enough of this yet?

DC

typical political, business as usual:
of the profit, by the profit, for the profit

sold individual, so pitiful:
elected officials that neglect the people
they represent only with our consent--
constituents and citizens--
never forget
we are the boss of these stuffed shirt snobs,
not lobbyists obviously sent to protect
corporate interests only concern:
the bottom line, wine & dine in return
for friendly policy that favors their fortune
and leaves communities not quite as important.

"the question's been the same since the start:
are we smart enough to conduct democracy?
only functions in a culture of rationality.
our primitive instincts kept in check by the
prophylactic of a liberal society," says somerby

and socrates (at the dawn/dusk of the west)
i'd like to take this opportunity
to suggest we improve our priorities--
demand more of our authorities:
NO WAR without JUST CAUSE;
enforce environmental laws;
social security is easy to fix
if we roll back tax cuts for the rich;
decriminilize consentual crime;
generate revenue from regulating vice;
fund prevention and education,
universal health care for the nation...

i get impatient, the current situation obtains:
government invasion, eminent domain.
they game the system--we don't resist them--
buck-passing bureaucrat don't bother to listen or
read, lest heed, our forefathers' wisdom
