13. I had this very discussion
with old roommates of mine. They proclaimed that elections were shams and that both parties were working together to deceive tax payers. It was ironic to hear their complaints and then in the next breath to hear them say how futile voting was. I disagree. Like any system, you have to be involved whether you like it or not. To live somewhere, anywhere, and feel there is no use in bettering one's situation is plain giving up. I believe in fighting back, and until we come to the realization that we have the power to change the country by working together, then nothing will ever change. People believed in this concept in the '60's and made a huge impact on the history of our country. Don't give up!
