Sam Post used to be a great society. One that operated on logic, reason, and common sense, was concerned for its citizens, possessed loyalty to ideals, and had a bright future that it worked towards. The society originally started when it refused to put up with its parent society. Like a wounded offspring, this new society wanted refuge from unfairness and other stupidities that were forced on them by those who would enslave them for the sake of "the crown". A constitution and a bill of rights were drafted, and the feeling of freedom that pervaded the air must have felt invigorating, to say the least. There were some troubles, wars and such, and small disputes, but overall, a sense of fairness and logic, an ability to think on an individual level, prevailed. The new country came a long way. And then infection set in.

No one knows precisely when the rot started, but over the years the citizenry started to become apathetic, and worse, they started to put into power the most stupid and manipulative of their number. For the past twenty years of so, there is/was no one to elect that is worthy to be called honest, for they have no morals; caring, for they are apathetic; altruistic, for they are nothing but selfish and self-serving. Why would any citizen want such people to be in charge of their lives? Do you want the answer? Okay, here it is: They are lazy and stupid. They think that society owes them a living, that all they must do is sit and whine and the society will administer to them. They have been told that the "squeaky wheel gets the grease".

The rulers of this society are simply playing the game of "I want all the power". They already have more money than they could ever spend, so it's not like they need, or want, to work. Now they seek power because they don't know what to do with themselves; they have no life. But they feel entitled to muck up the lives of the citizenry. How much of our tax money buys these apathetic rulers new cars, mansions, cruises, etc.? And these are the sycophants that unthinking citizens want? Not me.

So says Sam Post.
