“There is nothing wrong in change, if it is in the right direction. To improve is to change, so to be perfect is to change often.”
~Winston S. Churchill, 23 June 1925, House of Commons
In today's world, as American's, the internet has connected us all. Because of that, we are able to talk to almost anyone about anything. Just as we are able to see societies leaders almost all the time doing whatever it is that they do. We are the ones that decide who those people are as well. Actually we kind of just do whatever the media tells us to do, but at the same time, so many ignorant people do exactly what the media tells them to do thinking that it is exactly what they want to do and thinking that they made that decision on their own. So while public opinion is orchestrated by a higher power for the people that can't make decisions for themselves, do I think it's important?? ABSOLUTELY. Why? Because no matter who makes people feel the way they do, that's how they feel. And it's the dumb ones you have to watch out for. The dumb ones, and the poor ones. Because the dumb ones aren't afraid to do something crazy and the poor ones have nothing to lose. What am I referring to when I say "something crazy"? I'm referring to the riots, and I'm referring to people losing their minds. The smart people, the middle class and up, they aren't doing that. Will Smith isn't going to be involved in any riots any time soon. Neither will Leonardo Dicaprio. You see, this may sound off topic, but not if you look more closely. Public opinion is EVERYTHING. Why? Because Will Smith and Leo aren't the public. They are higher up. They are away from this. The public is us! The public is all the normal people. And our opinion clearly matters. Because big government doesn't take that into consideration. They try to "David Blaine" us with magic tricks. Until eventually, people find out they've been deluded their whole life. And they get pissed off. Then they feel like their government is lying and backwards. Then the begin a silent revolt. A "we're not gonna take it" kind of thing. DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT LEADS TO?? That leads to having a crooked, lying politician and a crooked, lying businessman as your 2 presidential candidates because there are so many extremists on both sides of the fence. Because public opinion, if it's strong enough, will eventually make people pick a side. Because public opinion is so important that if it's toxic, it will implode.
