Oh, come on! Do the politicians really deserve to call their merry band of idiots a 'government', when they're not governing, but destroying?
If they want to start striking the right side of the books, they first have to understand these important things:
A. We, as residents of this world, are affected, so they will be too
So, I'm an 11-year-old. I've only been on this planet for a short time, and what have I learnt? At school, I saw how Julius Caesar declared himself Dictator for life, and was assassinated one year later. I saw that Neville Chamberlain signed a peace treaty with Germany, and was promptly fired when it was realized that Hitler would stand at nothing.
I've learnt that whoever writes the laws, gets hit by laws. Why is this? Because they consider themselves as highly superior to us, being 'rich' and 'powerful' and 'wise'. Let me tell you, they may be rich, but we as the people are equal. In fact, who's better? One politician or two average middle-class adults? The middle-class adults. In the end, we're all human beings, and something that is universal IS universal. The politicians may 'think for themselves', but by that they think of money, and houses, and conveniences, without realizing that in the end, their own law is going to come back on them.
If the Government can't think for themselves, why are they thinking for us?
B: What's right and what's wrong should be judged by sense, not data
VERY recently (in fact, just a few days ago), we saw that pizza has been declared healthy enough to pass at the level of a vegetable. It's almost like they're thinking 'OK, so the ratio of the mass of crust over cheese amount to tomato paste thickness by cubic centimetres squared dictates that blah blah blah blah...'
Government. A pizza is unhealthy. It doesn't matter if there's lots of tomato paste on it and that's enough to classify it as a vegetable, what about the fact it's greasy and sticky and lets all the nutrients out of toppings? In the end, it's unhealthy. They need to take several steps back, and try to think of what it is in the fewest words. They need to see, that in the end, facts and figures are NOTHING against sense.
C: We have voices, and they're not there to be ignored
This is directed at the topic. SOPA, if it's a bill, it needs to get approval, doesn't it? If you can ignore opposers, then why not just do that with every law? Why not just say 'Vegetables are mandatory' and then shove it into the books? Then homeless people, without food, will be breaking that law even though it's not directly their fault, and in the end they're worse off.
We have a say, and we can say it. In fact, we can shout it. We can bellow it. We can direct every wave of sound straight into our seemingly deaf politicos to get across the message: 'We can vote too.'
Because listening to us is a wider opinion. The global opinion. The government acts as spokespeople, not as a blurter.
Because, we know what we want, and your opinion may be wrong, believe it or not, politicians.
Because, in the end, we're the ones they're doing it for. And they're doing it wrong.
