People always believe they have no power. They blindly go in and vote Republican/Democrat and then wonder why there's no change and things go from bad to worse. They sit there and bicker about which party is best and why the other is bad and don't realize both parties need to be put out to pasture. There are millions of people out here who don't like how things are run and yet can't seem to comprehend that they can make a difference. I have seen lately where Ron Paul has been gaining steam -- this is a good thing as I see it because this means some people are beginning to see a glimmer of hope: there ought to be (and are) alternatives to the status quo. We had a friend a number of years ago in Philadelphia -- an older guy who was very high up in banking and connected with the Democratic party (we believe he also had mob connections, but were not able to confirm that). Monthly, he would head down to Washington with a brief case full of money (we saw it...big bills...he couldn't help but brag a little). Anyway, he said, "That's how Washington has always been run and that's how Washington always will be run." Makes you think.

maybe we need to do more than just vote. even though in britain that would be a start after the crap turn out.
but we need to make them know what we want. stuff the vote.

Actions speak louder than words.


I feel that some kind of public unrest will come because people will eventually see they need to do. In like 2 - 40 years i think.

ron paul seems like a great guy with ideas that really support common sence, honesty and fairness thats why they are so great. thats why people are starting to believe in him.

I've only got that from videos i've watched youtube and ats. so i could have a clouded juddgement

I'm glad to see young people like you starting to get involved. Maybe you can make the world a more peaceful and better place. God only knows my "Baby Boom" generation hasn't lived up to its potential. My son (18) is like you -- he's actually interested in politics, which so many kids shun (probably because it can be a little confusing -- or daunting to go against older, more established men).
