I am supposed to hide my head under a rock
Rocks are cool and all. I have lots of them. The problem with your head in the sand is your ass is in the air, waiting to get hit.
That’s why participation in our government is key to your cultures survival (Their really are too many to name and I’m not talking about race here.) in The US. You might not have every thing your way but at least you know that most things are the way you like them and you made them that way or showed effort goes noticed.
Nothing ever got done by boycotting an action. You might make a point but the work won't finish itself. We are a self governing people you need the people otherwise what purpose does a role like government have. It becomes a civil responsibility to participate in the government. Peoples mentality in this nation when it comes to elections is somebody else will do it or I live in a blue state so I don’t need to vote. The same goes for republicans. But a majority of Democrats think someone else will do it for them that’s why they lost. That needs to be fixed across part lines. US Citizen’s have to sit on a jury if selected. You can't be forced to vote it but some law should be put in place to reward those who do. There really is a reward for those who do. It is the election of representative officials who represents a majority. A better way should be found. Representatives these days are not as rewarding as it was when this country was still a fledgling nation. Back then people knew what it was like to personally not have representation in a government. It was still fresh in their minds. Today that is old news. Exactly 230 years old. People don't understand what it was like back then (living under British rule). I’m not saying it was a good time in the beginning it was hard and slow much like it is now. But in this time people see it as a fault in their accelerated lives, you have internet, cell phones, faster travel, and more education in their pocket, people want faster every thing but government is still trucking at the same pace it started. The same thing goes for International conflicts. They want results not the means. Citizens want safety not war where sons and daughters die. These wishes are unrealistic, life requires patience. For Americans we haven’t been around long enough for an “American” culture to develop. Our culture is one where we are not a melting pot. Because we are not communists. Life isn’t equal it can’t be other wise there would be no incentive. Incentive is how your life carries out. You care for your self above all. Don’t you.
With more accurate representation in government (hand outs and/or wishes laid on false pretences won’t) society will cure it self because the truth is people in society give power to others that best represent their interests.
