That's your take?

Is that supposed to be inspiring?
You feel that voter's actually don't have the power to change anything? I tend to agree. Only groups of voters have the ability to change anything. Rather it be clubs, industies, ethnic groups, or old people it seems that the government doesn't care about the individual. Politics is important to be aware of and the impact that can be made is by influencing a group or groups. The leader of the groups can actually achieve political agendas. Take for instance your neighborhood. The reason why there may be trees, a sidewalk or even those speedbumps came because of the city politics. It is important to recognize where politics can be played so that you don't get pissed off at and can be prepared for the dumb decisions that are made due to those agendas.
