Feudalism '08.

Because, obviously, the elevation of the common man/democracy simply doesn't work.

Or so I think when optimism truly deserts me.

Very eloquently put. I love the word choice, but it is a little bit awkward sometimes. For instance, in "wallets through stealing our freedoms", the through would sound better as by. Or some other word. It just doesn't flow right. Maybe if you could shorten up some of the sentences too? But I really like it for the most part.

Oh yeah, and 'sexual preference' should be sexual orientation. A little pet peeve of mine. *grins* If you want the 'it's not a preference, we don't have much of a choice' talk, just message me and I'll give it to you, but most people don't particularly care to hear that rant.

Anyway, love the wake up idiots, you are in charge of the country not your reps thing. It's a point that most people don't seem to understand. o.O
