We have become cynical, because politicians have made us like this.....we are duped by them every day(in one way or another)....and cynicism is the crust of our defence.

Long gone are the days when you took a politician on his word.

they dont give tehir word they say things that lead you to believe they will act one way then say they never actually said they would do what they implied.

with polititions its mostly word play and misdirection.Its a bit like how an illusiionist works but where as an illisionist will take your watch and give it back a politition will take your watch, wallet and expect you to thank them for it and if you ask how the trick is done you will be told your too thick to understand so no explination is needed
