Remember, remember, the 5th of November.

[ex nihilo]

"People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people."

Well, that is true in a sense. We ARE the ones voting who will go into office...

Most of the bad apples we've had in the gov't. are usually a result of the ignorance of the people. It's either they look at the candidates on the outside w/out doing a background check on them, or they've been bribed by said candidates.

Usually, though, I think of it as being caused by the latter. People will do anything for money, after all... What we need is a candidate that can be trusted by the people and keeps his/her promises to the people. They also need to have a good head on their shoulders, ergo, a good sense of judgment.

Don't get me wrong. In a way, we're improving somewhat...

It's just that we need to check the backgrounds of the candidates more. We don't want to end up being ruled by a party close to the likes of Norsefire...

We won't be able to sleep well then...
