I believe that government is overrated at times. Democracy is too layed back & nothing ever gets done with this system of governing. Rarely will something be done that will seriously help the community. I used to believe that everyones opinions matter and everyone should be able to have there own opinion; that everyone is equal; but it's far from true. Well, everyone should be able to have an opinion, but it won't matter in any system of government, no matter how well rounded it is. Even in a democracy that is supposed to be for the people and by the people; no one cares about the minority, only about the rich and powerful....which is true in most societies. If 100 poor people wanted to help find a cure for a disease or even fix up a building, and 100 rich people wanted to do the same thing, the rich would most likely be chosen over the poor because of there status. I also believe that everyone SHOULD be treated equally. the rich and the poor should be able to have the same rights and same opinions and the same status in any community, no matter where they are. it's messed up that government can discriminate against others, or that anyone can discriminate in general! our goverment system needs to buck up and realize what there doing. taking away unemployment and medical away from the people who need is most is also another problem our government neeeds to fix. Another thing i believe is that our country/comunity is falling apart. with all the debt, homelessness, diseases, feuds, wars, and technology taking us over, were never going to make anything better or amke anything a better place to live, no matter what we fix or no matter what type of ridiculous new government we institute. i believe a lot fo things, and that is just some of it.
