Ok...to Peenyuh and R00k...sweet and simple: Angry letters don't do anything because there aren't enough people sending angry letters often enough. The reason why you are powerless is because you've let yourself become powerless by de-evolving your republic into an entity that both represents every person, but dismisses them because one voice in a million can be ignored. You didn't move as a group towards your own interests. You let the elites follow their interests because you convinced yourself that you were powerless to stop it. You didn't make enough demands, loudly enough. (like an organized work stoppage for an hour...nationwide) And elections aren't the only time you should be involved in democracies. And stop making fun of Canada whenever we have a referendum abo0t something.

But hey...if you guys are full of such despair it's your own fault.
If the politicians thought for one second that they would pay any serious, long-lasting consequences for ignoring you, they'd stop...because their gravy train would derail and they'd be ruined in the public eye forever...like Brittany Spears and Micheal Jackson....whom alot of people would rather talk about.
