Study: American public has ‘virtually no influence’ over politics in face of wealthy interest groups

56. A-duh.

- It's a flaw in the design which incorporates Capitalism into the mix with democratic principles and republican ideals. A situation ripe for conflict that turns one party against the other. The inclusion of Capitalism into this nation's design (or any nation's design for that matter) was like feeding this new babe of democracy the cancer-causing GMO corn that we eat today. It's gonna kill it's host sooner or later, it's just a matter of time.

Because it's in the nature of cancers (in this instance GREED) to always kill it's host......

In the Bill of Rights of the United States, there is an attempt to secure certain freedoms and protections by way of mere text on paper. Now while I understand the value of this document and the temporal brilliance of it in the context of the period of its creation, that does not excuse the fact that it is a product of social inefficiency and nothing more.

In other words, declarations of laws and rights are actually an acknowledgment of the failures of the social design. There is no such thing as 'rights' - as the reference can be altered at will. The fourth amendment is an attempt to protect against state power abuse, that is clear. But it avoids the real issue, and that is: Why would the state have an interest to search and seize to begin with? How do you remove the mechanisms that generate such behavior? We need to focus on the real cause.

We have to understand that government as we know it today, is not in place for the well being of the public, but rather for the perpetuation of their establishment and their power. Just like every other institution within a monetary system. Government is a monetary invention for the sake of economic and social control and its methods are based upon self-preservation, first and foremost. All a government can really do is to create laws to compensate for an inherent lack of integrity within the social order.

In society today the public is essentially kept distracted and uninformed. This is the way that governments maintain control. If you review history, power is maintained through ignorance.
