many blood sucking parasites (ie politics)

I came up with an analogy for politics last night that seems to grasp my opinion of government.  Have you ever read one of those books where you get to “choose” what the main character does at the end of the chapter.  Does he go through door A or door B?  You think you’re getting involved in the book and making choices, but when you look at it, it has been written and no matter what the ending has been written and you’re just along for the ride, you don’t get to steer.  That’s kinda how I view voting.  The decisions have been made, they just ask our opinion to pacify those of us who think we actually get our turn at steering.  I refuse to indulge in the fantasy that is politics.  There is no change coming by voting.  So long as the pen and dollar is given so much credit.
