peope choose their government Rating Options

[freeridefight]

The fact that people are always bitching about how we have horrible politicians, but isn't it us who elect them? Should one person or group of people choose our government, or continue the way we have been and let the people choose?

^ Something I've often found funny, maybe ironic from certain perspectives is that if you don't vote for either of the major "two", it's considered a throw away vote. So, not only are you a deemed a social "fool" for not voting for what has been predetermined as two choices, because there are so many that are frightened of not being in the know (ie, major candidate support stickers, bragging "I READ CNN" rights, etc), it's hardly something I'm ever going to be completely optimistic about.

I'll just admit it right now, I've submitted several "throw away" votes in my lifetime and I'm not at all ashamed. I'd rather have been honest than to have voted based on what the "majority" determines how I should vote.
