Remember the late 80's?

During the late 80's I attended a few great concerts. At some of these concerts a petition was circulated, and after reading it I signed it. Basically it said that "We the people no longer support the government and want to scrap it and start again." Pretty simple really but then my monkey mind started thinking outside the box. Picture the future. What if this petition caught on and went nation wide? Suppose 80% of the registered voters in this country signed this petition and a naional election was called. Then suppose 83% of the American public voted for what this petition said. Do You Really Think That Your Government Would Listen To What The People Wanted? Do You Think That They Would Give Up Their Power And Let Us Start Over? Would This Be The Cause Of A Modern Day Revolution? Someone please explain to me why you think you matter to your government?! This government does us more harm than good. They interfere in our lives on a level that they should not. Family Values? They want to tell us what our family values should be? News to you boys...In this country there is no one set of family values that everyone accepts. It means many things to each of us. To me it is life,liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Now who my life partner is(Kathy Collingwood), is none of their business. What religion I practice(Harry Potter), is not their business. Family values from crooks, cheats, and adulters? Not in my life!
