The Class A Cows

Now, I see all this howling about Republicans and Democrats, usually abiding by their own claims and beliefs, in spite of the facts that they generally are total hypocrits who both excel at creating poorly managed beauracracies which still manage insufficient self-regulation. They both suck and I despise them.
Neither gives a shit about the poor. Democrats encourage appeasement and needless spending of resources which can be used in better fashions than they are now, and provide incentives and tax relief to the richest of the rich when special interests groups are concerned. Meanwhile, Republicans have a terrible phobia about spending money towards progressive education and welfare designed to get the poor into good jobs and establish them as consumers, and have failed to adequately privatize government services to help improve education and welfare situations by allowing them to become more adaptive to changing environments and demands.
Also, neither gives a shit about protecting the environment, although they both say they do. Both make needless and ineffective policies and discourage new alternatives as long as there is a stigma attached. Two major examples of this stigma appeasement problem happens to be Nuclear Fission and Coal power, which could actually improve both oil dependancy and emmisions situations since modern technology have rendered these relatively harmless and quite cheap. In addition to mobilizing against the lesser evil, both parties refuse to draft decisive standards to make actual changes to the environment and attempt to engineer it, despite a powerful emerging biotechnology industry. Genetic pest control and environmental hardening can quite possibly help pave the path towards getting rid of the harmful effects of pollution, especially since waste-processing will benefit from genetically engineered organisms, providing the possibility to quickly and efficiently deal with several hazardous waste products, particularily sewerage and oil spills. Recycling will help too, as will enhanced agriculture and subsidized research into efficient methods of utilizing resources. We dont need CO2 emmision regulations and scrambling about foreign treaties, as they will have no real long term benefit. We need domestic measures to prepare for dealing with inevitable changes in climate and food production, which, if left ignored, will leave disastrous effects on quality of life.
To make matters worth, both seem to believe that it is important that the US plays a role in the world stage. Isolationism is what this country was founded upon and is what made it possible for it to grow so quickly. Allies and foreign aid only waste money and drag us into wars we should stay out of. An ability to launch harsh strategic retaliation is far better, really, and there is no reason to help any poor nation which cannot defend itself, that is not our purpose, and not our responsibility. Let the rest of the world tear itself apart. People can always emigrate to the US if they want salvation, after all.
Finally, neither is prepared to move forward with proper education, military and otherwise. We have access to excellent brainwashing and training methods which could easily be employed to aid in developed devoted and intelligent workers which can give us a competitive advantage over other powers. Not to mention the fact that labor-centric organization and incorporated welfare and military training will greatly assist in making sure the industrial might of this nation remains intact and available. Also, in such an environment automation may become more accepted and efficiency will rise as special interest groups lose real power in preventing these changes, and less emphasis is placed on sanctifying preservation of old standards. Conservatism is generally good, but when it prevents well established, highly promising new technologies from taking foot, its a sign that its time to crack down on those who protest implimentation of efficiency enhancements due to neglible short term impact which can be avoided with proper redundant labor-oriented welfare and population support. There is no real reason to sanctify the individual after all, as no individual is as powerful as an organized collective acting towards a common cause, and thus human resources can be mobilized and engineered with a sound conscience, providing that no extremes are taken in treatment of life and liberty.
Generally, both despise the policies of the other and, in an effort to find a middle ground, rob society of efficiency as neither mobilizes any useful ideas. Democracy of any form, representative republic or otherwise, cannot work correctly, and complaining about the policies of any party which has to adjust itself to meet individual demands is awe-inspiringly futile, as the only real improvements which can be made by any government is to make people's lives hell in order to give them greater power.
However, the fact remains that both of these horrible entities are far better than the genuinely corrupted and generally unsightly policies of any nation which does not happen to be the United States, and in most cases life will be more pleasant in this nation than anywhere else, as stupidity and inefficiency will live on anywhere regardless of government policy, and as long as humans maintain individual sentience you are going to find yourself supporting stupid objectives and despising reasonable ones, just because you have a constant desire for a life you do not actually want.
Nobody seems willing to make the required sacrifices to make a reasonably liveable environment and technophobia rules supreme. Now excuse me while I try to regain my sanity and figure out whats causing this delerium.
