Ch.15

I think the government probably has created a sort of chasm between them and "us". There seems to be a disconnect in our government and it has always been hard for me to understand it or articulate where is possibly comes from. I believe that people who want to work in the government probably go into it for noble purposes, such as righting the wrongs that are there. But I believe there is a system in place, a culture if you will that can suck you in and influence your values. I see it as the music artist or actor that wants to go into performing. They want to be something and have a purpose and make a difference but the culture of the music wood or Hollywood has a way of influencing people in negative ways. People get "lost" in the fame, and pressure of it all and "sell out" as people say. I think we have a government full of sell outs. There may be that few that still hear the people and work for the people but they are overpowered by the others who have put power and profit before the people.
