If You Could Change the World

I hate politics. I hate all the posturing and finger-pointing and scheming that takes place, especially right before an election, which is where we are now. But what my government does, and even what other governments do, affect my family and me. Thus, I have to find things out, and think about long-term results and repercussions. Of course, voting is involved. Bringing up my children to be intelligent, strong, and able to learn and reason things out on their own, is also important. But lately I've been wondering if there's more. I've never wanted to try to change the world, but I don't want it to change underneath me, either. My home and my family and my own little activities are the main responsibilities in my life, but there are things that affect that already, like all the taxes for waste and needless activities. Sometimes I'd like to try to do something different, something more (but not something illegal!) I'm impatient to see some of these things come to an end.
