The cultural practice of "voting" here in United States of America seems rather odd. I will support this ritual, however, in hopes of winning the approval and trust of the locals.

It seems strange how these noble, yet naive, people find this "voting" to actually affect change. Do they not understand that their two political parties prevent public opinion from influencing actual legislation?

In my notes, I liken this peculiar behavior to that of a long lost civilization sacrificing people in hopes of making the weather change. I assume this false hope allows them to continue to live with the poor living and working conditions within their society, functioning as a form of escapism — similar to religion.
