The United states government has lost sight of why it is in place. Our politicians have forgotten why they are in office. They are here to serve there constituents and are put there by us to represent our interests. Instead there bought by corporations and the only things they truly care about is how fat they can make there checkbook while in office. Its time that we make the government one for the people by the people again. Unless the president comes from a poor family and had to deal with the everyday struggles like the average american, they will never know what the country really needs. With the internet we don't really need congress or most politicians. We could all vote on the issues at hand and stop putting it in the hands of people that have no idea what the average american goes through every day. The only reason we should have our military is to protect our country on our own land. If we stopped trying to police the world maybe so many people wouldn't be mad at us. What gives us the right to think our way is better than anyone else's? We have more prisoners locked up than any other country. We keep going into debt to the federal reserve for giving us a pieces of paper. Its time for another revolution non violent of course. People shouldn't be scared of there goverment since it is supposed to be there for the people. This is just a thought and wonder how many people feel the same way.
People should be scared of their governments , cause it has the monopoly on the use of violence.
You can't take "your" government back because it wasn't "yours" to begin with. In fact government is just as real as Santa Claus. And only if you stop believing you can take government back, government of yourself.
As an example; I can only govern/rule myself, I have no "right" to govern/rule anybody else. How would I have gotten such a "right". How can anybody else acquire such a "right"? They could not have gotten it from me since I don't have that "right" to tell people what to do or not do, with the threat of, or the use of violence, to begin with. And since nobody in the whole world has such a "right" nobody can give it to another human. And since politician are human also they can not get such a "right". It doesn't even matter if 99% of the americans or the whole world population says they can acquire it because they say so , they just can't, at least not over me.
Well I know they are good at their games, and do a lot of fancy rituals to give it the impression of legitimacy. And do a good job at it since most people seem to still believe the rhetoric and propaganda that they've ( and I've) got indoctrinated since childhood', about democracy and government being a protector an caretaker for "the people", freedom bla bla. But I know it is just a bunch of bullshit. To put it nicely :)
I'll do my own (r)evolution, by not needing, and distancing, my self as much as I can from the institution that call's itself government but that is in reality Big Maffia.
