So what happens if Bush runs for the Republicans and Hilary for the Democrats? It doesn't matter who wins, it's the same tag-team playing acting in the wrestling ring. The same long term strategies will be played out whoever wins.
But the two party game game is changing, albeit marginally, and now in the UK and Europe we are seeing the emergence of minority parties holding the balance of power, as voters have lost confidence in the two party structure. Instead, they'll now get small beer to serve with their cake and think that makes a difference.
However, the reality is that it's still the same shell game in operation.
How we, the public, continue to believe this is representative democracy in action, God only knows. It's a farce.
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
