Most people believe that the world is completely controlled by the rich and the powerfull, for example: Government and large coorperations. While the rich and powerfull do hold alot of influence in the world, they do not influence the world directly. The influence they have is given to them by the rest of us. We allow them to mold our actions, and it is our actions that change the world. You would never see an executive of a large tobacco company harvesting tobacco fields, or the House and Senate taking up arms to defend human rights. We have tobacco because WE harvest it, build the machines to produce and transport it, and WE sell it, buy it, and smoke it. We have certain freedoms and security because WE fought for it, not the members of Congress. I am not implying that executives and members of government are not needed, but that they have the power they do because we give control of our power to them to be used for our benefit.
