Jack the Sailor: "The enemy is not the system. The system is us. It is what we allow to be done in our name. The banks and the insurance companies are made up of people. Political power is composed of our votes. We will get no where blaming others. We must take responsibility and get involved. We have met the enemy and he is us."

I agree with you, that 'the system' is not the problem....but...

I posted a post a while back, that points out, to be deceived is not in itself 'evil'...because the reason one is deceived, is because, given the choices, people tend to do the 'right thing', with whatever information they have to deal with. The problem, and what IS evil, are those who knowingly DECEIVE others, to accomplish their(the deceiver's) goals. The reason people are deceived, is because the WANT to believe the 'right thing', and DO the 'right thing'..but to get them do bend their wills, the deceiver has to bend the truth.
This is not only common in today's politics, it is the practice! It is the norm!
Shame on those who are deceived so easily, and look no further, than to what 'appeals' to their sense of 'right'...usually formulated by other lies that they have believed!

Politics: The art of lying to masses of people!
