Hey guess what!??!?! more ponderings

So i was just sitting, "studying" because i forgot to bring home my papers. And I was just finishing an essay about how people were blaming the government for their problems. So you know what I think, the united states boasts of having a government for and by the people. So if they think the government is doing such a bad job, why don't they just suck it up and do something about it. I mean... women may never of had the right to vote if some women didn't stand up for their rights. So if there is something going on where it is obvious the government is neglecting it, it's our job as citizens to bring attention to it. now on the flip side. some people need to take responsibility for their mistakes and stop blaming the authority figures in their lives. Its definately a pet peeve when someone doesn't listen in class and then blames the teacher for their bad grades. So basically, people (myself included) need to be more proactive.
