I'd be happier if I had more answers and fewer questions

the two-party system is a fraud, plain and simple. one side does nothing right and everyone thinks the other side is the answer, then we go back and forth and nothing ever moves in the right direction. each side has the same overall goals, they only debate insignificant issues designed to distract us from the real issues, which are never [SIZE=-1]discussed at all. take for example the middle east conflict, we all know that oil must have something to do with it, yet that idea is not even part of any [/SIZE][SIZE=-1]discussion[/SIZE][SIZE=-1]. every debate is fixed, designed to distract and polarize. [/SIZE]these are two wings on the same airplane, we will continue to move in the same direction regardless. the only real answer right now is ron paul, who is only on the republican ticket for practical reasons. the media is doing a good job of ignoring him as much as possible, but people are waking up and there is some hope. if we get a giuliani or a clinton, we can all just forget about it. this country was sold out a long time ago, we're pretty much finished.
