The World of the Terribly Obvious

Observing the recent political history in the U.S., there is an alarming pattern arising. What we have, in chronological order is: Bush I, Clinton I, Bush 2,, and potentially Clinton 2. I'm sure we have at least noticed this pattern emerge. Looking beyond the scope of election-to-election, and whatever opinions we have about these power holders, it is terribly obvious that the decision making power of this so-called democracy has been laid, quite comfortably, in the laps of but a handful of politicians, their families and their friends. So we have to ask ourselves, as the line blurs between the parties  - what real decision making power do we, 'the people' truly have? Not to mention; should we or can we trust the few to lead the many? There is a feast in their laps. We'd have to imagine the politicians as saints, divine and holy, in order to lesson our fear of them being crooks. Unfortunately, as history is the lesson, it is often the devils and crooks disguised as divinely appointed kings, and godly emperors, that have ruled over the many.
