why is it our worlds politics has changed from a great system keeping the world in general peace to nothing more than wars between rich people to extreme extents over chilidish things?

take my thought or leave it, it still doesnt change the fact that it exist, is here, and has a meaning to it; even if i dont know what that meaning is yet.

Because the rich people you mentioned now rule the world
With the internet and the globalization we might consider ourselves at the dawn of a new rennaissance, and of course some people never accept changes...

Those who are called to govern, don't. And those who govern, aren't called to do so.

I've heard this somewhere, and it's deep and meaningful (just dont ask me what it means)

Ever wonder who is in charge? The people who want to be in charge, the people who want power. It's never going to work out.

eh, the people here to govern us (and of course being as im from the US, i speak only of the US as i dont have the right to try and disect, or any other thing like that, a country which i have never lived in or experienced) r the rich, born with a silver spoon up there ass. all they do is aim for more.

im home schooled, in my homes schooling i was asked "Americans do not have equal jobs, equal education, equal ability, or equale money. Explain what you think equality means in this country." (ok not a question, but close enough)

i am going to post it, while it may be long, i think it somes up a little of my thought, answering it a bit. as is, it also (basicly) begs for critisism as it is a opinion, and opinions vary from person to person. so i quote myself now


" Equality? In this day and age, basicly nothing. Equality in America today can not be given by the goverment, not that I think they would, nor that they ever have been able to.

Equality is given threw few sources. The way it was given in the beginning of this country was through inspiration and unity, led by a group. Not by a single person. They didn't want to pay outragous taxes." which on a sidenote, not in my paper, is kinda ionic considering some of the crazy and retarded taxes we have to pay now "Because of they came together to stop it. The ones who started and led this movement, made a group representing many groups of people. this way, after doing the things they did that led to the people all wanting there own country, they all represented the different groups of people and there interest. With this they all made a compromise. This led to also watching the equal interest of those in the future.

The second way it was given was through force. through laws that are suposed to make us equal. A great example of this is political correctness." another side not not in my paper, i saw that a town in texas is makeing the use of "the "n" word" illegal. which i think is stupid for more than one reason. one, if u ban that, then u should ban "cracker" and "beaner" and so on, but evem then i think it stupid cause that is imposeing on the right of free speach. once again, it shows equality threw force.

" True equality, a thing we truely lack yet crave, is everyone excepting everyone else for who they are, regardless of weither you agree with them or not. And all these people agreeing to follow all the same laws, because they all agree with them, and all have had a chance to input there views and opinions.

In the beginning of this, when I said equality means basicly nothing, I worded my thoughtd wrong. Equality means everything in these times, but it hardly exist. Equality in our modern goverment barely exist because we are almost forced to vote for people who have no clue what the normal citizen wants, because the normal citizen is in the range of income the goverment would consider poor, and the ones we have to vote for come from a different walk of life.

We are not forced to vote for these people, its simply that they are the ones who have the money to let the public know what they "represent" of the public in there position of power. The ones who have and still live in the walk of life as the normal citizen simply do not have the money to pay for billboards, posters, radio and T.V. ads, pins, roadside signs, touring, public ralleys, ect. Because of this, equality is almost non-existant, and the finacly wealthy have a huge advantage in life and society, which translates into social statis.

Equality in this country means... I don't know, I guess equality means perfection. As of yet, no one or nothing is perfect."

thats my rough draft, i need to fix the spelling and grammer and make fine tuneings to it, but u get the concept
