We have an election coming this November. I wonder who really "elects" our politicians. The machinery that controls our political system seems like black art at it's finest. Something new that has surfaced recently are "Super Pacs". It appears that mystery persons with tons of money to throw away are gaining more control each day. Candidates convieniently have no connection to these groups, but are happy to let them do the dirty work. These groups create all manner of stupid, insulting, and childish advertisements in an attempt to discredit the preferred candidate's opponent. Apparently, the candidate of choice has little to merit attention or has no ability to stand on his / her merits.
I have gotten a chuckle out of current campaigns. There is an old saying that states something like "If you don't have anything good to say......just shut up"! I for one already know most candidates are useless putzes with little incentive to actually take care of the best interests of the people they were elected to speak for. Government by the politicians, for the politicians. Crap, I got a load of stuff to vent about when it comes to political science. Maybe later.
