I'm glad to see that someone else feels this way. I use to think that the only way to change the system was to vote. Now, however, I'm starting to think that by voting for the candidates that are selected for us to chose from we are just supporting the system. Unless we start getting candidates who are truly chosen by the people, I'm thinking that the only way to change the system is to refuse to participate. Of course that only works if enough people take the same approach, and I don't see mainstream society embracing this logic anytime soon.
