Hillary Roddam Clinton set her life goal to be the first
woman president of the United States and her did everything in her power to achieve
that goal. We should do the same when we vote we should ask ourselves which
candidate is more lightly to achieve our goals. The object is not just the
fight for your goals, but to achieve them. First you must have goals, so the
first thing to do is to set your goals like Universal Healthcare and Education,
living wages are good starting points.

Hillary set her Goal should not we do the same.
Pretend Democracy
The discussion among leaders of the
later part of the eighteenth century was between one-person rule or some form
of democracy would work. They all agreed that in the past there were some great
rulers and that letting the people rule would end up in chaos. So they came up
with a plan of pretend Democracy which would still be rule by an elite class,
but let the people think that they have a voice, that is the system we live
under today.
Maybe this was in response to what
was happening in France in the early days of our republic where they ended up
with Napoleon. When Germany finally got a democracy they voted for Hitler in
the 1933 elections. So turning people against their own interest is quite easy
like Hermann Goering once said “Naturally, the common people don’t want war,
neither in Russia nor in England nor in America, nor for that matter in
Germany. That is understood, but the people can always be brought to the
bidding of the leaders. That is easy, all you have to do is tell them they are
being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing
the country to danger. It works the same way in any country.”
I am still optimistic that
democracy can work, but it won’t be easy for we must get it through to all
people on this planet that they all belong to the same race, the human race.
This is not a new idea humans have been trying to make it happen since we came
out of the caves. Those attempts were usually along the lines of if only
everyone had the same beliefs there would be peace in the world, that is where
the universal church idea came from or for others just through power like the Roman
empire today I am hopeful that communications between people have improved to
the point the in a few generations the people of this planet may come to
understand one another.
