Precisely, how pleased I am to hear from someone who 'gets it'. 
I find it incredible that many consider politics to be something that is pretty much undertaken by others on their behalf. They openly admit that they mistrust politicians, yet put their own and their children's future in the hands of those very people - It's madness! Slowly though people are waking up to the fact that as a nation we're all being diddled. I've given up trying to convince people of it, all I ask now is that they look around for themselves and ask for explanations as to why things are like they are today, in the fourth richest nation on the planet!
To quote Schopenhauer:
All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.
