let us approach this with purpose in mind.
It is true that politicians at heart are whores who pander from behind mask to fool the people with promises of improvement. And so, many are discouraged from the voting booth. Not just Rasta. Many are discouraged-Rasta just puts words to it. That's the only difference.
I pose a question.
If it can be assumed that through great effort the political "game" can bear true benefit to the people.
How best do we play?
Organize . . . one of the reasons special interests have so much power is because they have mastered the art of organization . . . which is a skill which ones who do not have access to wealth can also tap into. This can be done on a community level . . . the power which resides in each community can be harnessed and meaningful change can take place on a local level. If a community is self-sufficient, the people will have greater self-determination than if they are simply relying on the larger system which they are dependent on. Local currency projects, community gardens, etc. are great places to start.
The demoncrazy game is too under control to be of any real benefit IMHO.
