i always wonder how much the goverment hides from us and if we are even a democratic country anymore. i seem to just seeall the elected officials move along with the their political party as to not lose favor with them and thus lose funding and support in their nxt campaign to run for election and i personally know many ppl who say im just republican or a democrat and just vote that ways regardless of what is being voted on. I think more ppl need to become more concious and take more of a stand in the system except it takes so much time to become involved so only the ppl with leuisure time and money can afford to take an active stance in the political system... just a ramble of thoughts just thought what you ugys thought on the subject...tried to spell check but o well didnt work so excuse my spelling as well
