| that 25%, or 75,000,000 people, is only the amount of people who are somewhat aware when it comes to political issues and government activity. of those, i doubt many would raise up in arms against the government and risk their lives in the process. if anything, i think more people would provide resistance against those who would revolt, for the sole reason that people feel secure walking down the street when an organized government is around.
anyways, even if somebody is fed up with what our politicians are doing, isn't the best weapon against them your ballot on election day? we have it better here in the states than most people do worldwide. if you want to see change, the only realistic way that it'll happen (imo) is to join or create organizations that support a specific platform of policy and use large amounts of voters as a weapon. also, as you have already stated in the thread, write your congressman. |
