People aren't exercising the rights that many of the nation's greatest leaders fought for, wasting their sacrifices and blood. Better awareness and better priorities might result in a better country, and maybe we wouldn't have to call the 1900s the peak of our nation. I agree completely Invalid.

If I remember correctly, only forty percent of Americans vote even though all of them over eighteen have the ability to and most of the people that do vote are the older generations. About a quarter of the American population is making decisions for the rest of the country. We need a more educated and well-informed populus. The younger generations are the future and they are also the generations with the least amount of votes. Yes, we all lead busy lives but we wouldn't even live the lives we have now if it weren't for the government, so why not take some time to learn more about it? Especially before we criticize it. More people need to invest time in learning about their country in general. You’re right, and that’s sad.
