I'm not completely jaded. I actually vote in each and every election (even for our local sanitation chief, who runs unopposed). It's just that I become cynical when I see that our elected officials propose and pass laws that they know nothing about. That there are vested interests that write and push agendas that fulfill their political/religious/financial self aggrandizement; and are usually anti-social, anti-competitive, and wasteful to the general public. This is done year, after year, after year, to the point that the public is irrelevant except to be taxed at higher and higher rates to feed these hyenas.
