How do we end an obsession with sandbox politics, rendering it irrelevant, unworthy of endless lip service, denying the spoiled brats the attention(positive or negative) they so covet? Ignore the bastards. Blaming them is just more attention they desire. It reinforces their importance.

Politicians are as rotten as the fruit they cuddle with. Society now allows conventional politics to be one of two games in town, the other being corporate world. The two whore one another while we do their maid service.

Our time would be better spent on family/community issues, the more local the better. Cut these clever middle-men out of the picture. As with self-absorbed Hollywood clowns political careers depend upon both critics and groupies to survive.

Politicians now dictate a choice of leashes to a drooling tongue flapping constituency. Time to bite our neglectful abusive corrupt unappreciative masters in the...

Contrary to what sleazy corporate media says dollar bills do not walk to the polls and vote over and over for the same zealots. Braindead zombies do, all for another bite of meat to satisfy our supposed importance.

PS  Boycott Slavemart.

:clap:

I could get behind this 110%. Who's with me?

It would have to start on the local levels, working our way up. Taking over the primary process and getting rid of them all, no prisoners, everyone of them voted out.

A new start. It may sound childish, it probably will never happen but I believe that's the only way.

It's starts at the top.  Lead by example and people will follow.  We have the most divisive administration that I can remember, pitting one social class against another with one failed policy after another.  

Obama has failed to unite this country because he takes a his way or no way approach.

He wins the presidential election by less than 4% and calls it a mandate?  That's rich.

He isn't trying to unite anyone. By design. That's what politicians do. As I said, they want a divided populace.

So, instead of tearing him down, give us your ideas. What would you do, to fix this country? :popcorn:

Bravo!  As much as I am not a fan of Obama, I see the Republicans as worse because that seems to be the ONLY thing they can do.  It is always the other guys fault.  Actually, both sides play that game but I am most disappointed by the Republicans since they claim to be of higher moral and ethical fiber yet they continuously show they are often lower and slimier than the Democrats.
I really, really wish we could get a viable third party.

This country is stuck in the dreaded "triangle relationship"----the Right, the Left, and those in power at any given moment. This relationship is evident from national down to local institutions. Devolution of healthy society, all the time benefitting those in high places, namely wealthy oligarchs, autocrats, dictators, bankers, shareholders, etc. These folks are betting on the triangle scheme---they make money inspite of/ despite the sandbox fights. So long they and media can attach labels and ideas within the minds of sandbox mentallity they keep cashing in. Dare we exit the sandbox then no sooner more labels are attached---Third Party, fringe group, quitters, extremists, blah-blah-blah.

We can start by not labeling ourselves...or others. We can use common sense, avoiding deceptively clever tools handed to us by social/political/religious/educated parasite gurus.

A few of their 1984 idioms:

"Let's end poverty"

"Higher education for all"

"Equality"

"Successful lifestyle"

Maybe you can add a few more of these meaningless hypnotizing works of brainwashing.

Next we can end the practice of electing lawyers, doctors, business elites as our representatives. These people have no clue how to represent me, but only their view of the world which by this point in their career is so twisted and skewed from any original intent.

We praise and honor certain individuals for their common sense, empathy, good civic behavior. But seldom do we elect them. Instead we elect pompous bullies into the sandbox as we gather round and wager bets. And we lose every time, no matter the outcome.

Peel off the layers of labels that render ourselves dutiful submissive players in a rigged game.

Self-Banished is right. It might take roto-rooter to clean all the slime from our system. Electing just a few HONEST individuals(not politicians) into local government and possibly state government could be the Serpico that could begin desludging local politics. A warning to the corrupt.

Leadership from the top is an oxymoron. Does the president... or Pope...or CEO of Goldman Sachs lead tens of millions of humans onto paths of moral or immoral behavior? It's possible, I guess, considering the growing number of lost sheeple. Or is the other way around...where the masses themselves have sold out to corruption and devisivness?

Stardust, you nailed it. Read a little about Hampton Florida. It is on the CNN website. Local corruption at it's best. People need to start taking things back. Complacency has ruined us. It can be done and I think it had better take place soon or we might be over the tipping point.
