I was watching tv a few nights ago. Some political talk show was on in the waiting room. I sat down to see what was going on and while listening to these few menand women talk it became evident to me that, Non of them had any understanding about these two documents that our country was formed on.. I'm not saying that I know more than them. Just that some times people forget the important things in life...
We as a nation at one point lived and believed in the things we said. Not saying what we can to make the most money or gain power. But to stand up and say what we feel in our hearts and souls.. To believe in something so strong that we would die for that belief..
While your are out and about today shopping going to bank and such. Take a look at the people around you how they act where there going how they speak to others. Most of the time you will see that they are self oriented. Meaning they only care about there wants needs and desires. Now, if these type of people are who "We The People" are then no wonder people in the government only care about themselves, Because that's all the people they are supposed to represent care about. So if we understand that. Then the first place to start any kind of change is with ourselves.
Those documents where created because people changed there views and beliefs, and with that change came a nation.
For there to be change we must first change our self.
I'm not trying to make people believe anything just stating a few of my views. I'm not about forcing others to agree. I'm about sharing ideas to form something better that everyone can agree on.
