One of the many and most important rights that we have is the right to vote. Complaisance and shifting blame of why many things in our communities remain the same or become worse does not change anything nor does not voting help. So many factors affect the way we view life and impact our actions throughout life. Yes a simple X on a ballot will not change things overnight nor is it guaranteed to do anything,but with what you have (knowledge, ability or experience) what are you doing to impact your community, area to become a better place without shifting the responsibility to be entirely the governments?
