    When do you think the governments will remember who they work for?

    They don't lie. They just don't tell trues.

    Terrible mess we're in.  But we put the chef in the kitchen, now we gotta eat what he and his helpers prepare for us.

    We are the government. It only does what we allow it to do and tells the lies that we tolerate. It's strengths are something we can be proud of because we as voters are indirectly responsible for the structures and policies that constitute those strengths, just as we are to blame for any negative consequences that are the result of our governments unethical actions. If we are dissatisfied with the actions of our government then we have the tools to correct it's course. As Benthere says, VOTE!  Governments only last in their current form as long as the people allow and that's all governments.

    but as you know, whatever political party needs your vote will use every lie possible to get it, then promptly ignore the voters once elected. the unelected powers (petrochemical, agricorps, banks etc etc) hold all the real power and are totally unaccountable and have been put above the law in many cases. they tell the governments what to do and governments comply. I have always voted, but never for the mainstream parties who do not have my best interests at heart.

    That is true, but it still boils down to what we allow the government to get away with and we have many tools at our disposal built into the system. For example, getting more involved with politics at the local level. As someone said, who I can't remember, all politics is local. You'll have more control and affect the system more because the variables are more concentrated. And the effects of local politics flow upward. Also, like you in this last election I voted for a third party candidate. Sooner or later our voices will be heard.

    I really hope things do change soon, me and the wife are doing our bit locally, but what it really boils down to is $$$$$ as soon as some uber corp waves a fat cheque at a politician/government the will of the voting populace slide even further down the ladder of importance.
