"Do what you can, with what you have, where you are." Franklin Roosevelt

Why can’t we stand behind our leaders? “Obama’s a commie”, “Bush was a nazi”, “Clinton was a tard”. How are we supposed to inspire positive change if we as a people only operate out of dissent? Whether you not you voted for that Commander in Chief, you can’t expect to get anything done by committing meek libel on facebook to your friends list, by singing dirty hippie songs with guitars, by elitely bashing over wine and tapas with your peers and therefore experts on the subject. You need to not be concerned with the fate of the free world and the fantastic land of opportunity that was built on the blood sweat and tears of our fathers if you decide to not concern yourself with positive change. Do you think that a leader can lead a country out of despondency if it’s people are constantly throwing temper tantrums like a damn two year old? How do you talk to a distressed toddler? Take responsibility for the fact that you live in one of the best countries on earth because someone before you did the work to make it this way and take that pride and opportunity that they CREATED OUT OF NOTHING and breed it into pride and opportunity yourself. It sounds so cliché, but the change starts with you. Pick yourself up by the bootstraps, wake up every day and make it yours.

Or you can try and change things by doing what you've always done.
