Lol. You kid yourself to say that voting has any affect in our democracy. Human minds are far to simple,and far to easily taken advantage of. Manipulation is all that is needed to sway any large society. Look at history. How many times has a whole society been manipulated into something horrible?? It is scary how easy people can be controlled. There are two type of people. You have the everyday nobodys of society who sit back and let the government make the decisions, and you have the people who controll the nobodys.

With the help of the media, anyone can become a leader in our government.

Democracy is a very new type of government. It is still an experiment. So far it has proven to be stable, but how stable is society ever? Who was it that once said that each contry should have a revolution every couple years?

Democracy does a GREAT job of making its society think they have controll. We think we have freedom, but looking at this war and our "leaders" approval rating of like 20%... we can see that we barely have controll.

So you go ahead and write a letter to your congressman. You play a good role in society. If we didn't have sheep, we wouldn't have a shepard would we?

It is not fair that you say that I havn't any right to speak becasue im not old enough to vote. I may not be old enough to vote, but I see alot more clearly then some of you obsurdley hipocritical nationalistic conservatives who do nothing but "call there congressman"

You clearly need more wisdom. Yes thats coming from a 14 year old. Eat it.
