I have been watching this show religiously ever since I saw this little segment several weeks ago. I could not help but agree wholeheartedly with his argument. As I have attempted to inform myself better about my country and about where I stand politically, over the past several years, I have mostly become frustrated and saddened by how selfish and petty we have become. Then, being the son of a historiaholic, who dragged me around the country almost deifying all the great men that established our laws and who fought to make this country great, I was often reminded of the days when this county truly was great.
I love this country and I feel so blessed to have been born a citizen of it, however we each have a responsibility as such. As he states in the clip, we need to inform ourselves and realize we can do better. Our government was established to be "a government of the people, by the people, and for the people". If we, as the people will inform ourselves and then act in accordence with our beliefs, instead of just stand back, then "change" can truly come.
