Times have never been harder in our society. It seems like everywhere you turn, there's yet another disappointment. It can range from a natural disaster to something man-made. I feel one of the sources for our problems today come from our politics and leaders. The government has become a means of deceit; last year's "change" slogans have turned into false promises. We need to go out and discover the true facts about our government. And as a nation, we need to get back to the democracy we were founded upon. We need to get the pigs out before we wind up in the slaughterhouse.
