Yes we've all heard it, presidents and elected officals talking to kids about the government and its politics. There's been debates and controversies over it for decades, however thinking it's a good thing to talk to kids and get them on your side one way or another is pointless, for one they can't vote, two your using kids to influence their parents in a certain way by having their child(ren) captivated over a person, dubbing yourself "a new celebrity" in their eyes. Understanding politics is the first step, think back to high school, all the clicks and voting people student body president or even homecoming king and queen. Politics is like that, a pagentry of burecrats and country men. What happens when they decide to run for something? They get sponsers and people who are in a certain party, again like high school, they donate money that they earn through you guessed it people in the country idolizing them, see they don't like to put their own earned money into it, no they save that for fancy houses and cars. Now this may be pure B.S, but from reading some articles on it some of you parents make your kids watch the president addresses at a young age, one question, what's your point? From experience watching those from start to finsh it not only very long. but in some cases kinda boring, the main statement is mostly repeated over and over so all you hear is basically a drowned version of what YOU should be thinking. Now i know that without democracy there is anarchy, but with all the democracy comes riots! When you keep adding laws and regulations, your making it less of a free country. Before you try to deny it, think back when is our first ammendment right, "freedom of religion, of speech, of the press,  the right to assemble and the right to petition"ever supposed to be waived, we cant say certain things including scientific terms, religion has become a battle of wills, the press gets to slander people, certainn groups assembleing can be considered a crime, and petitioning is ruled by the government itself. When you hear this amendment now what do you think? Are we still "free" probably not. The government has stuck its nose everywhere, health, education, religion, the world! And since when does the american government have the right to tell other countries what they are doing wrong? From my understanding of geography, these countries are their own and run by their own set of laws, they might not want to hear what some person from a different part of the world, with no understanding of their customs, has to say about the running of the country. Back to sticking noses everywhere, since when is a womans body able to be ridiculed over what she decides to do with it? Abortion and prostitution mainly, the first being a very personal choice, what if its for health reasons? No men in government have taken a stand about something that has hardly anything to do with them. No uterus no opinion! Second prostitution, we all know the story there's 4 types, the junky,  single mother  struggling for money, the loner, and the one trying to find quick money. There's alot of taboo about it but have any of you thought about this? I'm gonna shake things up a bit.  Marriage is like protitution! Now before you jumo to conclusions about it think,  Women get rings, guys get the 'Nasty" for a long time and you agree to do anything and everything for him upon request or even habit. Since when is it clearly defined as a man and woman? If you are a GLBT person, shouldn't they be given the same rights? YES they are people just liek us with every ammendment appiled to them to. why can't they all have that chance to be married and visit partners in the hospital? They should! What now? I'm not sure whats in store for the future but if there's gonna be more laws and regulations I'm not entirely sure it'll be a good thing.
