True, but at the same time, the current limitations of the government, due to its need to get re-elected, and the ignorant masses who have no idea about the issues of today and the needs of tommorow, and only care about one or two issues (we all have those, and I think they're stupid, in U.S.A it's guns ''will the government try to take my guns'' In quebec it's independance ''will the government try to make us independent''). Most of the time those issues are totally irreflective of the current problems and should not even be adressed in the campaigns portfolio, but somehow, those totally irrelevant things always seem to become major points, when the real things, like economic plans, social reforms, possible law changes, wealth fare, military plans, budget, those things are ignored by most people.
I know it is a dream on my part, and I know it's probably not possible, but I still feel that if an educated and citizen picked handful of people were given the right to act on behalf of society's best intention, it could go for the best as well as for the worst. If only there was a way to make sure it was for the best, than I would probably be for it, but I can't think of a single way to do that, so so far it IS wishful thinking and I AM aware of it.
I feel that a way to reach that is proper education (getting the freaking church out of school would be a start, creationism, while very respectful of the church, is nowhere near accurate, and should not be thaught to toddlers, at least that's how I feel, and I might get attacked on that point yet again)
Another would be a higher governmental focus on the development of technology outside of warfare. Such as alternate energy sources that do not consume fossil fuels.
I just feel that the way that society, especially american society since it is such a major player in the world, is going is just setting us on a self destructive course for such fleeting goals such as money, and that trying anything at that point is better than to keep going the way we are.
