In theory yes but its too big, too overwhelming and too complicated and deceptive and illusory to grasp and comprehend.
We vote in earnest but our vote is negated by politicking and powerful lobbying.
Hope is naive and replaced with contempt when we find out whats good for the community was traded for a vote for someones agenda whatever that might be.
As a nation I believe we are moral. Thats apparent in the homes that dot the streets that make up the cities spread throughout our country.
We work hard and try to do right but we live in this machine that seems to be out of grasp.
It has no ears.
