If you study people you will find that other than a few variations, people are the same in basic respects.
If these people form a group, this group as a whole will also have these basic traits as a group or organization.
Club, organization, church, city, state, country, will all act as to these basic traits as if it is a human person itself.
In order to change these groups or collectives one must change the basic traits of the indivual persons of the group.
The reason the goverment is doing foolish things is because we are doing foolish things.
The more corrupt the individuals the more corrupt the organization.
The reason all groups are corrupt is because we are corrupt, even to the goverment of this nation.
So if we wish to improve all collectives we must first improve ourselves as individuals.
Until we stop our corrupt behavior we can not expect others in power to be any different.
The death of most powers has not been so much due to being overrun as it has because of the individaul doing what they want instead of what is best.
The death of this country will be due to the death of doing that which is right and correct for the sake of doing what right fo me by the individual.
So stop bitching about the goverment and stop doing the same types of things yourself.
How many buy grown up toys and let the poor die in the streets, then bitch and say the goverment should stop making bombs and feed the poor.
Change yourselves and it will change clubs, organizations, churches, cities, states, goverment, nation, world.
