Change the System

Let's change things we've talked about all our lives, things we've said are wrong, yet we've never changed.

We've always ended our conversations about them by saying, "That's government" and left it at that.

Things like government dole. We've said people should work for what they get, yet year after year, something for nothing remains. Many on government aid would love to work. Let's let them.

Things like how long trials take. We don't need to let them take so long. We can require cases to be prosecuted in a timely fashion.

And, as much as anything, things like candidates receiving money from special interests. Oft-times, I'm sure, the money is dumped into their campaigns without them even being asked.

In the words of an unpopular (around these parts) president, "Yes, we can."

We can change the system. And we should.
