[Often in the process of electing political
officials, the voices and ideas of candidates
other than those offered by the two major
political parties, fall upon deaf ears. This
creates a streamlining of the views held by
political hopefuls, forcing them to conform to
the standard beliefs and ethical systems that are
already in practice. Unfortunately, this also
brings into being a situation that leaves the
average American citizen with a fortuitously
basic choice, conservative or liberal (example
a:1). Notable critics of this process include
Tocqueville, who stated that "democracy
breeds mediocrity". This is not to say that
democracy itself is undesirable, it does however
point to the possibility that democracy coupled
with capitalism authors an environment that is
antithetical to itself. It takes government from
the hands of the people, and delivers it into the
hands of those whose sole interest is the profit
of themselves and of those they are most closely
affiliated with (i.e. the American Medical
Association fighting legislation that would
provide universal healthcare; big oil companies,
lumber companies, chemical / pharmaceutical
companies, and commercial restaurant chains
fighting environs-mental legislation that would
impose on the profitability of their business
interests; the American Lawyers Association
lobbying against tort reform, which would make
the laws understandable to the average American,
and lawsuit reduction acts.) These forces in
mind, the American public is pitted against its
national enemies, its political defectors, the
media, big business, the Federal government, and
itself. Opportunely, in a democracy people do
have a voice, if they choose to use it. A voice
not used is a voice stolen.]
