I can’t help but marvel at the circus our electoral process has become; though it seems ironically representative of the sad state of our government in general.  It’s amazing how far we’ve strayed from the idea of a government “of the people, by the people, and for the people”.  Despite the checks and balances our founding fathers tried to infuse into the system, it has become very lucrative to gain membership into the elite governing class.  While I don’t struggle to understand those who lustily crave the obvious benefits that come with joining this exclusive club, I am truly baffled by an electorate who seem eager to swallow every morsel of empty rhetoric, and fall for even the most thinly veiled deceptions.  From a strictly spiritual perspective, the same deceptive and corrupt spirit that fuels the current regime seems to be motivating the hoards that hope to take their seats aboard the gravy train.  It reminds me of something Albert Einstein once said, “We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
