Will life follow fiction?

Saw this onion article and it got me thinking about how money is worth more than votes since people are easy to manipulate with ads. Not really much to add to it but if it comes true in the years to come at least I can go into my history and bump this.

It's funny/sad because it's true.

I weep at this article, because it's so bloody accurate. Our representatives don't represent us anymore, they represent each other. They don't vote for what we want, they vote for what they want.

Yeah because once upon a time things were really that different. Everyone seems to forget that the good old days really weren't that good.

You may think I had been implying that things were ever different, but I most certainly had not implied such notion.

I merely would love to see the ideal we all long for, but alas, I am a realist and a pessimist, and expect no such thing.

It's just sad to see that we are constantly behind in a lot of political realms when compared to half the developed world.
