I'm getting more and more frustrated by people who bleat on interminably about how terrible it is that the Democratic system we're supposed to live under is breaking down.

Pedantry is all very well, but the first thing it is is annoying. We do not live in a Democracy, no matter what they tell you. We do not live in America, no matter how much it might feel like it. We do live in a society run by big business and self-serving beaurocrats. Our government is a powerless figurehead designed to portray the unacceptible face of Democracy so that we don't question who holds the real power.

Ack! There's so much more I want to say. I really want to be lucid on this point, but I have to stop the kid from destroying the house and I really don't want to be writing this post for the entire afternoon.

It's not paranoia, it's being able to see the wood for the trees. Bollocks to Whitehall, they don't run the world. The Man runs the world and I don't answer to the FUCKING Man, OK??
