So why don't I care, I don't know. Look at the human brain. Busy worrying about social interaction, integration, their lives in general. Everybody lives in seclution without seeing the bigger picture, including these people that are part of the system to serve/govern us. They're just people swept away in a system, trying to rise to the top because that's the point of a career. Vote for a particular party for the government to go a certain way, do a certain thing in your meanial lives that might benifit but it's so STUPID man. Vote for this party and you get this particular thing, like paying for a certain addon in a car. What you're mostly voting for is a mans face and how much advertising they pump into your unknowing and open minds. Some people get right into it and analyse what these guys'll do and give and what those guys'll do and give. Others vote for a certain party because they always have and they feel good about voting for them like a hockey team or a favorite beer.
In the end, human nature craves power because it's the ultimate form of attention. No matter what system in place, it will never be perfect because of this aspect - always the silent genius' pulling at it from all sides for personal benifit.
And eventually the most intelligent, rich and influencial of them will group ... lol.
