Have I missed the point, or is it not the joke of American Politics that Americans don\'t already realise that the whole election process is just part of the \"Democracy\" Charade; a Punch and Judy show intended to keep them amused and befuddled and, most importantly, distracted from the realities of the way their nation is run? Isn\'t this the country with the \"Patriot Act\" where the people lost interest in getting to the bottom of the assassination of their last real president? The fact is that America\'s disease is like alcoholism - incurable because the victims are content not to be cured. It is always good to articulate the fallacy (cleverly, as done here) but there needs to be some focus, some defined objective, not just some abstract notion that some day we are going to change it all, somehow.
