I believe that standing up for what is right should always be ones primary concern. Matt - Do you define what is "right"? That the idea of just trying to blend into society and not wanting to have an impact is what is plaguing our country. We as a nation are facing some of the toughest times in our history and need someone to step up and turn this once thriving economy around. I believe that people shouldn't be judged on what they look like, what skin tone they are, what religion they worship, or what their sexual orientation is. I believe that people should be treated fairly and with dignity. Every individual has feelings and come from a different background. People should hear their side of the story before just throwing the usual stereotypes at them. I believe that Washington needs reform. Too many politicians are in their seats for their own personal gain and our most recent election was turned into a popularity contest rather then a fight for what America needs now. The United States is one of the worst recessions of our time and need answers. Our debt is forever rising and our health care is in shambles. So far, in my eyes, Obama has done little to address such issues. This is what happens when democracy goes wrong. Lets be real though, what are my views and beliefs on this wiki space going to do? Certainly no one of high power is browsing the internet looking at what teenagers are blogging about. I believe that me plastering this up on this website for everyone to see won't influence change and probably won't make another individual's views on the world change. I do, however, believe that in order for this great nation to prosper once again, everyone must come together and express our desire for change. One voice of millions is much more powerful then a million voices of one. Together we can end the oppressions against minorities, change Washington, and get ourselves out of this recession.
