Disappointment in Our Political Process

I started this blog to express my disappointment in our political process. Our political system does not serve the people, it serves special interests. Our government at all levels is the best government that money can buy. Why did this happen? Well the simple answer is that we let it happen. We as a people were/are preoccupied with the pursuit of our own immediate gratification. Karl Marx was wrong, religion is not the opiate of the people, consumerism is. We are all guilty! We have fallen into the trap set by our masters. We are slaves to the bread and circuses designed to distract us from our role as vigilant citizens, protecting our republic from those who would enslave us. Is it too late?
