Try comparing government to a bus, and ask yourself if you would entrust your children to a bus driver who is?

i never put my child on a school bus, as they are not safe, nor do they have seat belts,,,,, so no i would not trust government,,,,, as to being a citizen,,,, i disagree with if you dont have the time or aptitude to participate, then your not,,,, especially the aptitude part,,,,,,, you are a citizen due to birth,,, or naturalization,,,, participating in the current government is a choice,,,,, heck,, if all of us refused to vote when we are offered lame choices,,,,,, that in itself would make a statement,,,,,,, plus as long as the electoral college continues,, you cant fault anyone for realizing their vote in a large way simply doesnt count!
