Unfortunately, this means we can not change- unless we manage to put a real shaker in office, one who actually cares about the people, like our original presidents.
    The "original" Presidents and Public Officials weren't paid. Due to this they were usually rich or had other forms of income. They also did the jobs they were asked to do because they believed in what they were doing. They wanted to help this country, not take from it like the politicians of today.

    Before any one complains that unpaid politicians means that only the rich would be in office I would like to say your absolutely right. I'm poor so it won't be me. Unpaid politicians means they wouldn't be motivated by money. Politicians of today are motivated by money and money alone. They should be motivated by the people that put them in office, and perform their jobs to what the voters want. Not by some lobbyist that wants to donate 1 million to their campaign fund.

    In addition, what Andrew (his first name) Joseph Stack did was wrong. It is also sad that innocent people were hurt and one was killed. However, what he did achieved his goal. His goal was to get people to notice a problem. It worked. People that play an online game are talking about it.

    I will also say that he was a member of my family. We don't agree with what he did. However, I am glad to see it has sparked discussion in this country from the main stream news to Evony. Keep the discussion alive......Don't let this topic die EVER! Americans need to wake up and quit living life as usual. That is what we have done for 30 years and look at the sad shape we are in now. We are at war. The economy sucks. Health care sucks. The "man" does nothing except tell us everything is ok. Well it isn't. NOW WAKE UP!
