grassfarmer: Of course you are right about the people of a nation allowing their governments to do as they will, by apathy and failing to get out and vote. This is a sad fact of life and I doubt it will ever change?
Personally I'm not a big fan of democracy in the first place...as it is basically mob rule on a large scale? Much better a republic where the rights of the individual have precedence over the will of the majority?
No I don't support the gun law in Canada! But I do abide by it and learn to adapt to it. If it is truly bad it will collapse on its own?
You learn to live with any situation? If the government says this is how it is what are you going to do? Do you get out and try to change the law or do you figure out how to adapt to it? I have found that usually figuring out a way to adapt is better than wasting your time trying to change the whole nation...usually with zero results!
But then I suspect you are a crusader and enjoy tilting at windmills...which is okay too! You do the dirty work and I'll just carry on trying to get along!
In reality you don't have to save the world?
