Democracy's Future

 

Thomas Jefferson once said: “I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.” From wasting the labors of the people....All around us the government has made promises for our well being.  Many of those promises have not been followed through, it was more like an effect of "thank god the government cares." Fake.  There is other examples to back up this opinion:"The Bush administration made no secret of its intention to deal harshly with individuals, groups, or states who challenged U.S. global dominance"(p.325). I am so over this world dominance stuff. Sorry I will be blunt this time in my blog. I don't have any religious basis, but the government apparently is supposed to. Did the bible not thump that equility is a virtue? Why does the U.S. have to be dominant? Why can we not work with the better sources of life to create a better world? Unanswered questioned. Do not tell me its politics. The people running our politics are only people. Same Ivy league school as any doctor or lawyer, why can they not think for the better?  The media entirely plays into it as well:

"...The media and corporate interests more generally have vigorously tried to shape public opinion"(p.327).  Now we touch on the sense of greed. The president is a human. He is not all forbidding god or such. They are becoming greedy of their power as of the blogs I have previously posted show proof. I am both scared and disgusted by how "the people" have let things get this far. "Critical engagement can be both politically effective and politically infectious"(p.328) EVERYONE if you want your life to be the better and the best for your children then please vote. Go to conferences. Attend Colorado One. Talk to the people who control our government face to face.  I hope I live to see the day we become a whole nation once more.
