The horror before thine eyes shalt soon become clear to all in the guise of the presidential candidates in the year 2000. Truly they be the catalysts who will unleash the beast of political apathy upon American democracy. Al Gore, the Bushes, Al Franken, Steve Forbes and the rest, have prostituted themselves to the altar of boredom. Trust me, this is the true apocalypse for our country's government, and to democracy in general. Politicians so spineless that they dare not deviate from a rote and pathetic set of views will own our country in the next millennium regardless of popular vote.
None dare forge a new path with their own views.
People will not be able to tell the difference between one candidate and another. Apparently, all of them can be. No controversy, no unpopular beliefs, just mouthings of meaningless platitudes to a disinterested public that turns out in record low numbers for presidential voting. It will be a kind of low-grade narcolepsy of the soul. The group will not cross the bridge into the 21st century, as the needs of the whole are not addressed because the experience of the whole are not represented.
