Ignorance

i was just reading a thread about how many parts of the patriot act are not going to be renewed because it does not have the senates suport. while i was reading, i noticed quite a few kids didnt even know what it was!!! One of my biggest pet peaves is ignorance. I cant think of somthing that bugs me more than when kids dont even know whats going on outside of their own small existance. i have heard many teens and young adults complaining about how their voices aren't heard by our government, and that the government only cares about the wealthy. DUH!!!! that is the fundimental flaw of democracy, men in power want to stay in power, and they will endorse the people that help them (i.e. the wealthy and groups with high voter turnout). If our generation got off of our collectivly stoned asses and actually participated in the goverment, we could make serious changes. but as long as the individual is still drowning in a sea of ignorance, this will never happen. So go out and learn somthing, participate, and if enough of us make a voice, we will HAVE to be heard

The Patriot Act is a violation of our rights as humans to freedom and due process.

Good job Bill.

I completely agree with you, you made some very good points there. I also thank you for doing one of the first posts I've seen in a good while without use of the word "gay."

i would have to agree, but im not gonna lie. i couldnt remember what it was for, but im not one of the ones complaining. im just basically choosing not to care until im old enough to vote pretty much. i mean i have my opinions and ill express them but i dont like to complain

^If you think about it, that statement is so true. Some of the things that I know, I would be much happier without.

none are so hoplessly enslaved as those who falsy believe they are free. would you really rather be cursed to living an ignorant life without ever knowing that things could be better? it would be like being a cow prepared for slaughter, its whole life its fed well and happy, but only for its eventual death that it cant avoid
