One of our biggest prob-
lems is that in the age of
information overload
nobody is engaged in soci-
etal governance and often
local society anymore. The
right to vote and chose gov-
ernment and get elected was
hard earned and cost a lot of
lives. Yet we have record low
voter turnouts, positions are
filled by acclamation and
not election. Getting the
public and youth involved
and interested should be a
top priority. In my eyes every
citizen has a duty to actively
participate in society and
not just tag along for the
ride. It will take a lot of hon-
est effort to change this.
