Actually, I'm pretty young... but if you have any better ideas about how to turn this country around... I'm all ears. If more people were actively taking a part in directing the country we wouldn't be in the position we are in now...
The founding fathers knew every system is subject to corruption over time. That's why the verbiage was written the way it was. They had just escaped the tyranny of England and they wanted a system of government that answered to the people... not the other way around.
But as an American people we have given the government the tools, motive, and opportunity to hide their actions from us, create legislation that overreaches their own authority, and corrupt the government down to its very core.
If you aren't doing something to correct it, then you are part of the problem. The action of no action is still an action...
