I will never be tricked into believing some total stranger cares as much or more about my welfare than I do.

We have come to the point, in our nation, where the idea of representative democracy is just absurd as the virtual representation the 13 Colonies had in the House of Commons, before the various conflicts that occurred on our nation's path to independence.

We see the Democrats in Congress completely ignore the demands of their voters. It has come too far to go back now. The solution to our problems is not through an election, but some type of sea change outside the traditional framework of politics. It must be a revolution in our minds. Each and every one of us must declare our independence individually, if as a whole we are to be truly free.

Obviously protests do not work, they are pleas to the very people who don't give a fuck about us.

We must change this world ourselves.
