Politics

I don't like politics.

Don't get me wrong, I like the idea of government, that there is someone out there who is protecting my rights as a citizen.

And I like democracy, the fact that we can actually choose who leads us, and that they'll do what a majority of the population want.

But I don't like politics.

All the nitpicking, the arguing back and forth between the two parties (and the other, lesser parties complaining they never get a shot at stuff.)

I don't like the fact that government is inefficient, wasteful, and largely corrupt, and totally ignorant to the people's wishes.

I don't like the insults directed towards either of the parties, or from the thoughts and stereotypes that they stem from.

I want a government that will protect our rights; our rights to privacy, liberty, safety, and happiness.

I don't want a government that doles out our rights, like some sort of god, and fails to do even the most basic of tasks.
