Conversations

After reading "Where there's a will, there's a way" I can honestly say that I've never thought about changing government that way. I have to agree with her, if we can change how we talk about politics there's a slight chance that things cant change.
Voting has become some sort of a fad and I felt like some people voted just so they could get a sticker and knew little to nothing about any candidate. If we talked more about the third parties and not just the two big ones, the votes could maybe change! I think that if we really got "back to the root of it" we'd have a better democracy because people would vote more efficiently and wouldn't be worried about what the candidates ate for breakfast or what kind of car they ride in.
It's not just the voters fault either. These politicians make such a big deal about getting reelected that most of them don't spend time doing what they have promised. If they did, they would most likely get reelected again by the same people anyway. Funny how they don't see that.
So yes the system is flawed and we have the ability to change it. However I don't see that happening because we are stuck on worrying about the wrong things. If and when we start changing our conversations, can truly be more efficient for our benefit.
