   Well said.   
      
   It's the same with elections, and the dazzling future the candidates and   
   parties promise you. The mess that they want to get you out of is the   
   same dazzling future you were promised last time they wanted your vote.   
      
   The young buy in to the far-reaching promises, the 1000-yard stare and   
   the sweeping hand gestures from the charismatic leaders, not knowing any   
   better. 20 years of being kicked in the teeth changes their views, but   
   too late - there's another crop of youngsters out there blinded by the   
   light shining out of someone's backside.
