Are We Really In Control?

The true definition of democracy is when politicians are elected and employed by the people to achieve the needs and goals of common man. The true meaning of democracy seems to have been buried and forgotten in the modern society. That's what manipulation is all about! A better political system would probably be "Meritocracy", which supports each person's personal abilities and strengthens them so each of us have a very fair chance to become what we want with help from the collective society.
