Today in class we were discussing the different kinds of governments that we have in the United States. We discussed that democracy literally means rule by the people and repulic literally means to elect people to decide for us. Mr. Bolos then informed us that we live in a Democratic Republic, where we do rule by the people in that each person gets to vote. However, we vote to choose who will decide for us, so it is both. I was thinking in class as we learned this, what kind of world do we live in? We live in a world where most of the people who vote during elections know wrong from right. If they know wrong from right, then why would they re-elect a president who sent us to war for apparently no reason at all but because he wanted to?

I really like this blog, it shows your frustration with the american people and their voting. However for those people who voted for bush, that was the right move for them. Maybe not for you and me but for them.
