The problem with living in a Democracy is that government is our fault. If you don't like it, it's your moral responsibility to go change it. Sigh. That's a lot of work.
People die all the time fighting for the right to vote. People fight revolutions. We fought one... remember taxation without representation?
Unfortunately, we have had a recent history of slashing education, so I'm not real sure that we deserve to be a Democracy. We have young adults now who couldn't find Afghanistan on a map to save their lives. Does the free world need a leader elected by a nation with a fifteen minute attention span? If it does or not, that's what we have, and therefore the responsibility rests on each of us. If you can read this, go vote. Do NOT randomly vote on things that you don't understand, or didn't prepare for. It's okay to leave blank answers. You are not going to increase your score by guessing.
