I am cynical about government too.

Whenever they wage a war on something or someone, it's to eliminate the competition. War on terrorism, war on drugs, war on poverty.
Blahhhhhh...

You won't find me defending government actions..



The only time they want anything to do with me is when it is an election and they only my vote..



One thing though, in the future try to keep the politics in it's sub.

Frood

Sorry. Thought the online troll side of it was more a general forum interest.
Blahhhhhh...

Thank you..



It would be nice to see something else in there besides Gay Boy Roberto's anti Trump gossip and Herman responding with anti Hillary gossip.

It is poking fun at the stupidity of government. While I am not a libertarian, this speaks loudly why smaller government is better government.

The qualities required to win high and low office rule out good people



Sadly. that's how the game works in most every democracy



Mate and I have seen it all from the inside as several of our family (mostly my mate's family) made it to and near the top  .... from Mayor of Brantford (my grandfather and a wonderful exception to the rule - played a huge role in getting Canada Health Care in) ... to his children being Federal and Ontario Cabinet members  ... one cousin's hubby was Premier of Ontario for several years and a gal cousin was Ontario Health Minister recently for some time until the current leader (or whatever) took over  ... one uncle literally ran a Prime Minister, he was chief bagman for Mulroney and alone caused the Pearson Airport scandal in the 90s that Cretin  used as a prime tool to get elected



there are more, most (not quite all)  are not nice people

That is amazing Daisy May..



My father was persecuted and imprisoned in Taiwan as a young man in the late sixties and early seventies for his opposition to Chiang Kai Shek's dictatorial rule..



My family was passionate about politics, but no more..



Taiwan now is fully democratic, has civil liberties and a free press, but my father is as cynical about politics there as he is here..



Maybe there is a connection between being comfortable and cynicism towards our elected leaders.

Your father is a very brave man ... and dedicated to what he believes is right .. to be admired



Sadly democracy is no better than the people who get elected to office ..... and good people getting elected is rare



From my "inside" observation and everything I have seen outside of that has made me I firmly believe what I said above - "The qualities required to win high and low office rule out good people"

Yes, it's pretty much  the inmates running the asylum via voting





I also believe that the only possible good rule would be from a "benevolent dictator"



I'm open to offers and support   ac_smile
