wow were really stuck in a system arent we? even if you wanted to make a law to change something for a reason, you have to go through so much approval and people to do it. i doubt it "should" be that hard. like, of course nobody can do it willy nilly, but they have be very concrete about it. now yes, we've deffinetly improved over 1000+ years, and yet a lot of laws/rules havent really done very much. i feel like they wanted this hard because they sorta wanna be on top enough to not hear all of our voices and still say no to the ones they do hear. i mean forget all the little basic rules, if we put it in another perspective the loooong complicated rules that we have to remember. its those im worried about, and i dont think that theres NEARLY enough openminded people to take charge of these type of things. like "oh no, lets slow down on making all these plastic bottles for our overconsuming profit and lets "focus" on planting more trees than we cut down. or "instead on making bottled pills, we give natural medicine like tinkchered" -(idk how to spell that)- "dandelions from your back yard." THOSE kind of problems.(1 vote)
