war war the expanded edition.

The war on terrorism, the complete inefficiency in government, all the bumbling of everything from enquirerys to the hurricane katrina relief effort, everything, and I mean everything, that bush does is done in order to bankrupt the government, to drain the beast of its life blood, and when this process is complete, when there is no blood left to drain, when the government has no money left with which to run anything, then shall the vultures sweep in, the corporations from oil moguls to arms dealers. The government will slowly but surely be auctioned off. It will start out with the public amenities, then the army, and finally the white house itself and all who remain within it including the presidency. Yes in the end the president and indeed the few people who still vote, will be nothing more than fronts, patsies, and token gestures the only people who will actually have any real voting power will be the stock holders and the more stock you have the more votes you get.
Why will this be allowed to happen? Answer: The average American. The average American does not care, he does not think about politics be they global or local “that’s what the politicians are there for numb nuts”, the average American does not vote, in fact considering these other facts I would not trust the average American to vote. Bush was allowed to steal an election not through lack of information but because the average American could not be bothered to get of its humungas collective beeeehiiind and do something about it.
Why is this? [I now move from ranting into a more world-weary style feeling now to be completely destroyed] why this power? They are not politicians they are not intellectuals they are not moguls but they are the majority they have power in numbers and security and it is that security that it is the reason for their incredible apathy they feel I think collectively invincible whatever troubles they have in their everyday lives the greater world of politics never touches them so they don’t care about it they don’t care about anything that doesn’t touch them they won’t care all that much about a earthquake or civil war in some far off and unknown region until they feel it at the gas station you see it all the time on the news “how long before we feel it at the pumps”. The public gets the president it deserves, in the case of George W Bush and in the case of all those that will come after him, the president is manufactured. He is manufactured to be as close to the average American as is possible. He may be an ex-oil mogul but not a very good one and he certainly ain’t no intellectual and he’s a terrible politician, that’s what people like about him they expect nothing of him and that’s exactly what he gives them nothing and a whole load of crap, and with a president like that in charge one can’t help but wonder if the united states of America would be better of as the united corporate states of America but considering that Bush’s buddies in Halliburton are likely to be running much of the show I suspect that, that is not going to be the case.
