Unthinking is Deplorable

At the end of the year, let the record show that unthinking people exploited the American Political System and its weaknesses to promote a class of leadership that is neither patriotic nor loyal to the US Constitution and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Most haven't a clue about what they have done or how incompetent they are as members of a pluralistic democracy that is the American Republic. They don't know the jobs of US Congress nor do they understand the Job of the President and the Executive Branch. They don't spend any time studying resumes or engaging their representatives at an actionable level.

Most citizens have their hearts in the right place, though only a small percentage are engaged in their government at every level. That is a forfeiture of their rights and responsibilities.

How much time should a citizen setaside in a week to address their government and how it is performing? One hour, two, three, or four? What must be sacrificed for doing that?

Unthinking and failing to engage citizen responsibility is deplorable.
