It seems that in this country we, as a people, are largely uneducated by the various ways that policies can be changed and how they actually effect us, also how things are biased etc...if we as a country were truly educated in maters of politics and social policies we could truly move us as a country forward and in the process crush the grip of the modern day political machine on our society.   if we can truly attract people to some sort of mechanism that truly educates them about the specifics of politics and the actual raw data that is out there, we can truly move forward...but when we rely so much on biased information thrown our way we can only move in the directions decieded on by very few.
