Politicians
Beaurocratsi feel that people in government, should be concerned with the following items in priority:
The freedom of every citizen
The rights of every citizewn to excercize freedom
The feeding, clothing and housing of the population (for those incapable)
The Education of the population
The Economical opportunity of all Americans
Saftey of the population from disasterAt the bottom of the list
Saftey of the population from itself
National Defense
Police and security
By the way, I do not believe democracy is a legitimate way to form a government. If it was up to me, you would need 90% of the vote to make any law, and 20% of the vote to repeal it.
The majority has shown that it does not believe in equal rights for Black people, Women, Gays, People with diseases, the homeless, basically - if you are not a whaite male Christian, you do not have equale rights, and I feel the beaurocracy supports this because it represents generally bad people, and it equally bad.Sodom
Ouch, i shine it in my eyes
