Quality of government

We get the quality of government we deserve based on our overall participat­ion in the democratic process. If we do not take the time to investigat­e, understand and cognize opinions because we are too busy we abdicate our responsibi­lity of citizenshi­p. Those who are too busy raising their children, advancing their careers or just struggling to survive to engage in the political process in a meaningful way get the quality of government they deserve handed to them by those who usually live on the fringes of their intellect and care more for zealotry than logical compromise­.
