I belive that there is no chance at a true democracy in our country. Not because the government is corrupt, which it is, or because the goal is impossible to reach, it is not, but simply because we as americans are to self centered and ignorant to the consequences of our actions! Now i know someone will read this and think, "well he's wrong because i am not self centered or ignorant" but the truth behind this matter is that everyone in this country, wether they are aware of it or not unnitentionally beat back the chance at a true demovracy every day. Each and every one of you reading this has at one point in your lifes done something that so obviously effected those around you negativly and worked against our chances at becoming one united country, you do these acts because they help you personally and god forbid you were to lose something of yours, so you may cheat and lie to work your way to the top pushing down the other HUMAN BEINGS around you. Forget about weather they have needs or worries because of course your own needs come before theirs, right? .... WRONG! If every person in this country were to work towards helping others then yes we would truely have our so imagined democracy, a country that works twords its betterment through its citizens caring and tending to the wounds inflicted in our government and its people. But can one person make sure EVERYONE is rightious and thoughtful? No! While yes Democracy is a very difficult goal to achieve, we must work as one! If we ever have a dream of getting any closer to a true democracy then we have today. i belive that we as americans have the ability and the strength to achieve such a goal but there is something were lacking. The DETERMINATION! come on america look inside yourself find the feeling inside that compells you to achieve and focus that on helping to achieve a true Democracy. because america, if you dont, what will we have in years to come. i will tell you what we will have, NOTHING. no home, no money, no food, AND NO COUNTRY! But maybe im wrong, maybe we can leave the "being a good citizen" to the other guys, dont worry about having to help your country some one else will do it. maybe we will be fine..... maybe. But let me ask you this america, weigh the options you have with the possible conclusions. you can work twords a better future, not alone but with the assistance of your fellow americans and the outcome will be the betterment of our society as a whole and a true existing democracy. or.... you can say screw it, its not my damn job to help clean this country, to help my fellow americans out of debt and poverty who cares, with this attitude sure one side of the story is that we will continue on our merry way with no bad consequences, but....... whats the other side america? I WILL TELL YOU WHAT THE OTHER SIDE IS!!! a country torn apart by hunger and war with no help for the poor from the government and when you! the wealthy happy american run just a bit low on money the government and all the big rich folk you trusted will disown you and you will be thrown to the dogs whom which you shunned in there hour of need. then you cant rely on government for help or the poor for friendship. you will be lost in the fucking wasteland we will no longer be able to call a country and everything you knew about life will change drasticly and stories you didnt even know about because it was hidden by the media covered up by celebrity stories and whos marrying who and who had a kid with who and who... who... WHO GIVES A SHIT! the real story will come rushing up to meet you, that our country has damned its self since the day we stopped caring. THIS america THIS is what i believe.
