The Long Con: Democracy & The Illusion Of Consent

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-09-21/long-con-democracy-illusion-consent

 Democracy is an incredibly successful long con. It works because of the illusion of consent. People actually believe they are "represented." The 'proof' of American democracy continues to wax. One hundred years ago, we were at what you might call the hard cider, or the beer and wine stage. We are now at the Jack Daniels stage. How much longer before we are at the methanol stage? It depends on how much longer the long con that we are "represented" – and have given our "consent" – holds up.
