That's a no-brainer...us.

Our so-called leaders are a mirror of our own inadequecies as a body politic. Even though the elections were stolen, it was close enough to steal. We are still willing to think we can get something for nothing, more services with less taxes, rising home prices while homes actually depreciate, rising wages when many will work for far less, rising standards of living on the backs of much of the world's poor, rising resource consumption with falling real goods output, rising literacy levels with falling educational quality. We are living in dreamland so we elect leaders who sing us to sleep, purring soft lullabies to soothe our cries of ignorance.

We have met the enemy and he/she is us...
