Answer 5

We put so much stock in it because we let them take control. If some brave American stands up and becomes one of those individuals, or maybe a small group, maybe we could overthrow a corrupt government and reinstate a proper system of the people, by the people, for the d**n PEOPLE! That's what it's supposed to be so why the f*#k did we fall so far?
