Hillary set her Goal should not we do the same.

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.

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.
