Essay: "American Mediocrity", Part 6

Essay: "American Mediocrity", Part 6

       Apathetic or not, if you have any complaints or any sense of dissatisfaction with the way that politicians and others lead this nation, register to vote, get involved; or do whatever it takes to ensure that you do not get screwed by the System or society itself. Politicians would like us to forget that the Declaration of Independence states: "We have such inalienable rights as Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness... When the government no longer serves in the peoples best interest (i.e. the Reagan-appointed Rehnquist Court), "the people have the right to alter or abolish it." I don't necessarily believe that this should entail sedition, but if, for instance, more people registered to vote and cast ballots; we would not continue to get the disservice of a Republican administration which typically puts the whims of the wealthy above the needs of the poor. (to be cont'd)
