Many people feel so angry the are dropping there belief in a democratic system.
Finally! Your reaction actually very healthy and normal. Don't give up your beliefs in the *values* of democracy, but don't identify the system we are all living in with it. We are *not* living in a democracy. We are living in a plutocracy which is run by the sum total of the vectors produced by various lobbies and who all have one thing in common: they rule through money. And yes, they are out there to 'get you' and deprive you, and all of us, from essential freedoms. now this does not mean you should surrender, not at all, but fight these forces intelligently: only because they call themselves 'democractic' does not mean that they are. Look at the way they did away with international law, look at their rigged (pseudo) elections with only two (indistinguishable) parties to choose from, look at the way they wage wars of agression against the public opinions of their own countries. Sad as this is, you have to accept it and join those who are *really* struggling for democratic values and freedoms. I will not list them here - find them on your own and give us a hand!
