    Mmm, gee, my mind's foggy right now.

    Okay, dude, essentially the problem
    with the government
    is that when it has too much power,
    it steals from it's people & lies to them.

    One of the biggest problems I have with too much government is this:
    the more power-hungry government,
    the less personal freedom you have.
    What I'm saying is,
    when people think they're safe
    and that their government makes them safe,
    then they're willing to give up personal freedom.
    And people are easily fooled into thinking
    that there is freedom when there just isn't.

    I'm find myself making very little sense
    and just kind of... rambling...
    I'm sure someone has something else to add.

    Sorry I'm not helping much but
    if you have any questions or whatever
    feel free to ask me and I'll see what I have to offer.
    :)

    The bad? Unjustified laws, religion in the government, bias, not understanding the concequences of laws they make

    The good? Taxes, roads, protection, schools, free healthcare, alot of organizational help.

    We gotta pay to live man!
    And of course there's war. They have way too much power and they want everyone to conform and act in a certain way.
    Much peace and love wished your way

    Did you know ONE politician with connections can do more in congress than 20,000 protestors??? People have protested for hundreds of years, and the government watches, shuts em down, and goes on to the next problem........

    What ISN'T wrong with this government people??

    You got a power hungry incompetant ass-hole who is only in complete control because of who their father is ::cough bush cough::. A select few hundred fat-cat's who run 90% of the world's resource's, huddle up all their dirty corporate money in world banks, while their citizen's they "fight for" are starving on the streets, work 2 jobs just to be broke, and have no real freedom.

    The essential right's for america's independance has fucked over american citizen's so many times it's unreal. They have been so twisted around from their original meanings it's a surprise they still have power. All this country has become is LAW after LAW after LAW of nonsensicle irritants passed by corrupted poiliticians and their buddies.

    And what is freedom?? If I go to a police officer and say "FUCK YOU, you ain't helping shit piggie!!" I will be arrested. If i go to channel 11 news and say on national tv "Fuck bush, I hope he dies" I will be arressted. If I want to grow marijuana (which is a seed bearing herb from God's green earth and was here FAAARRRR before those fat cats in washington) I will (and have been) arressted!!! Is that your idea of Freedom??

    The government uses the media to scare you of things you shouldn't be scared of, and then making you believe they are making an effort to protect you from them!! It's governmental bullshit 101.

    And this so called "WAR" in iraq. On 09/11 their were all together 17 terrorists on all the planes. 15 of the terrorists were SAUDI'S!!! Meaning they were from saudi arabia. Now for the past 25 years it is known that the bush administration and bush family had very close tie's with the saudi's, they invested in lil georgie's first oil rigging company in texas for $200,000, the oil corporations which george Sr. had his hand in which BENEFITED from 9/11 as far as their so called "profits" go. And one thing I am yet to understand about the Bush administration.....09/11- 15 of 17 terrorists were saudi's, instead of immediate action he waits 2 months............2 MONTHS, and decides to bomb Iraq who did NOTHING TO US!!! After 2 months bush decided "WE BELIEVE SADAM HUSSEIN IS HARBORING BIN LADEN AND HAS WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION" (Remember that "scare tactic"). Well he kills Sadam, never finds Bin Laden or The weapons of mass destruction, destroys a country that did nothing to us, and are now paying billions and trillions of dollars to rebuild a country HE PICKED A FIGHT WITH AND DESTROYED.........And they spin it to make it like THE US IS WINNING!?!?!?!?


    Somebody tell me this is just a real fucked up dream............

    Couldn't agree with you more brother...I think the thing that most people don't realize is if you don't take the initiative to change the world yourself (voting, writing politicians, marches, protests, awareness campaigns, etc.) how do you expect to see any change??

    I agree with everyone but for me to give a more specific answer. I need a more specific question. I'm not gonna say whats wrong with every government. And if you mean rulers over us in general. Than you're essentially saying why not anarchy. And I know they're may be some anarchists out their, but we'd all be dead within a week
