Viros, I couldn't get your link to work.
But "Insert" is right: they're ALL fucking clown shows. In 2000, as the vote count went on day after day and the Mainstream Media was filled with pictures of goofy-looking people s-l-o-w-l-y bugging their eyes at paper ballots, I was like, You always wondered what the dystopic future was going to look like. Now you know. Then, less than two years later on 9/11/01: IT'S HEEEEERE...
One minor point however (which can't be made often enough): the U.S. was NOT DESIGNED TO BE A DEMOCRACY! Democracies devolve into the tyranny of the majority. Of course, now it IS a Democracy in which the majority of sheeple can be herded by the Corporate Mainstream Media, and the Constitution is as dead as Thomas Jefferson.
It's a clown show all right.
