touche JCC... I do understand that not everyone is going to share my disdain for politics, and that is fine, and you were right about the following statement:

Politics is the same as anything else, some people will have the collective interest at heart and some will have individual interests at heart. The solution isn't to get pissy and turn your back on the system altogether: what's your alternative?

I think a lot of my dislike is fed by the crap we all deal with everyday, for example, the health care shit... People die because insurance companies turn people away who cannot afford health care (like myself although I work 40 hours a week, more explanation later if you'd care for one)
Did you know that A kid who had a heart condition for some reason (uh hem a pre-existing condition) couldn't qualify for health care covered by his insurance provider, and he was told he had to get heart surgery or he would die.... so long story short, Trent Reznor found out and tried to donate every penny required for this child's surgery and the insurance company WOULD NOT ACCEPT the donation because they would not profit from it. Needless to say, this child died... There's even a whole story on it on the kids sister webpage. A Spanish family... Velasquez or something of the sort (his name eric) I have to find it later...
Anywho this is one of a million instances in the health care area alone. I lose faith because we as people just take it instead of doing something about it. I would love to throw some shit in people's faces. I wish there was a way to make our government actually listen to us. It's the middle class that suffers the most. I work hard, I work often and I still am behind in everything.
Tell me that you don't feel that something needs to change.
As for an alternative, I don't know honestly, I am one person, I don't know what to do, but I want to do something... These are just things I think about...
I know there would be chaos without rules, I know that we need some semblance of order, but the way we're doing things is ineffective and corrupt, and no amount of campaigning bullshit spewing from their mouths is going to change anything.
Oh, and LOL

Don't say things like that, if Rage Against the Machine read it they'll make another album.
