Which is why I have contempt for the American public. Our nation is formed in such a way that the government is an accurate reflection of the people. So in effect you can't have a rotten government without having a rotten people. The people are very much in collusion with the government to avoid difficult matters in order to maintain a "pursuit of happiness" status quo. What this translates to is any person who brings the check and balance evidence is systemically vilified and punished for doing that which the government encourages. The result is a philistine consensus where the false claim of noble democracy very comfortably produces the opposite - while those who benefit most don't hesitate to pour praise over themselves for what they claim they represent. The real message is democracy is best practiced when you don't really have to practice it but can still gain the maximum advantage from the claim. If one is smart, that is the true definition of present day "freedom" which is why a nation that allegedly stands against torture can torture and why a nation that stands against rogue regimes and war crimes can practice same. And is, especially, why a media that claims to be a check and balance free press can actually be a thinly-veiled state propaganda programming and mind conditioning device. Television is the best Orwellian machine anyone could ever imagine.
If you want to see this perfectly shown just input all the evidence for Jimi Hendrix's intelligence agency political assassination into the system and see what happens...
