We are the hollow giant

The failure of democracy lies in the ability of its citizens to vote into office politicians who give them what they want: at the cost of mountains of debt (people who aren't born yet don't vote) and accounting chicanery. It's time for all conservatives who love their country to recognize the truth. We need a balanced budget amendment. Short of full-scale war there is no excuse for mortgaging our national strength in order to pander to senior citizens and other gimme-gimme groups. I am filled with despair at the empty rhetoric: and there is nothing I can do about it. Thus we see the fundamental truth of democracy in the United States, where one woman's vote is the equal of anyone else's, by which we mean equally worthless.

I am now going to curl up in a corner, listen to Franz Ferdinand, and suck my thumb.
