I vote and speak my mind. What do you suggest?
Attend or organise rallies, petition your representatives, knock on doors, create a party perhaps? I'm not terribly familiar with your political system but I would imagine there are any number of ways you could get involved that would have far more impact and be more rewarding than crapping on here by posting youtube videos. I think you're full of hot air and bullshit and you just want someone to blame for your own problems.

Thats just bullshit. Even if I was a millionaire I'd still post here and would still be concerned about politics.

Learn as much as I can. Everybody should learn about politics and politician's plans, strategies, and agenda (public and private). what they do effects everybody. Here is a big nugget of information. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=103694193[^] NPR.org, April 30, 2009 · NPR has learned that Supreme Court Justice David Souter is planning to retire at the end of the current court term. The vacancy will give President Obama his first chance to name a member of the high court and begin to shape its future direction. What do you think about that?

You know what effect it will have. Why do you have to ask me? Knowledge is power.

You do realize this happens during other presidencies as well right? This is not something that you should find amazing, shocking or even unusual.

I agree and good for you if you can study political science objectively. I recommend that you hit the library and study a little bit. Here is my recommended reading list. Plato's commentary on the "Five Regimes". This is pretty light reading but very obvious and should provide some jumping off points as well some of the variations on the theme that you are going on about. Jean Baudrillard and "The Precession of Simulacra". This is the deep end of the pool and is more of a critique and analysis of modern culture. I don't care for most of his other work but I'll give credit where credit is due and say that I think he is on to something here. And then, when you want to deal with some truly cynical stuff, take a look at Nietzsche's "Beyond Good and Evil". Again, this is the deep end of the pool. If Baudrillard and Nietzsche are a bit difficult to follow, warm up with Descartes. Don't just read the summaries on wikipedia. Spend some time with the books and form your own views. Happy Reading and enjoy the contradictions these works supply.

Souter is part of the liberal wing and Obama will nominate someone liberal to replace him. No change.

Lucky for him, you'll believe anything. He just needs to put it in a grainy youtube video.
