Quick question. How many ppl here who are complaining about the government have actually done something about it besides gripe on the Internet. If you are an American citizen then you ARE the government. If you don’t vote you don’t get to gripe.. pure and simple. Personally there are many things are government does that I do not agree with however, instead of bashing the government to a group of people I email my representative. No my one email will not change the world... my hope is that if my idea is a good one and others with similar ideas email there representatives then maybe a collective voice can be herd. I may have just wasted ten minutes writing an email but I could have just as easily wasted it gripping an a message board. Get my point. Want a good example of freedom... a mayor is caught on tape smoking crack, serves time and gets re-elected. It was not the governments fault it was the people of D.C. they decided that they still want him as there mayor. THEY elected him. Personally I would take a crack head with great ideas over sober idiot. No one said you have to vote for this man or die.... he merely ran and won. If you want to change the system you have to be in the system. The constitution set up guidelines for keeping our government in check it’s our own fault if that is not being done. I do believe that some of our freedoms are being taken away however, I do not think it is because our government officials are sitting up there think of ways to turn us all into zombies.. there too busy fighting each other for that. Our freedoms are being taken away b/c the people with the power feel that it is the best thing to do. This does not make them right. If you want to change it you can, you just have to work for it.
Just my two cents
