The Election of Ideas

All governments in existence today whether you recognize it or not are institutional dictatorships. They are publicly sanctioned power monopolies. And democracy as it is practiced today is simply a game that is played, I'm sorry, but it's simply a game that is played to give to public the illusion of control. People think they have choice in our current system, because they can press a button on a voting machine and put a preselected person into power. However, once that person is in power the public then has virtually no say. Did you vote for the bank bailout? Did you cabinet of a new president? Did you vote for the tax increase? Do you vote for where highways or power grids or any infrastructure goes? Did you vote for the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq? So where is your real participation? We will discuss how a true democracy actually would work and it's not the election of people, its the election of ideas.
