Leaders

Yesterday in English class we were talking about the 1960’s, how there’s highs and lows during that time. How Kennedy got shot, how Martin Luther King Jr. got murdered, how there’s war, and a generation gap between teenagers and adults. When we watched a history documentary about the 1960’s, it states that movements create leaders, rather than leaders create movements. I believe in that saying because, if there’s a revolution, who leads it? There would be no revolution without leaders.

I believe that we need leaders to run this poor, devastating country. When you watch the BBC news, they always will have devastating news like the stock markets going down, talks about the war, the rise of the cost for gas, everything. That’s like, depression all at once. It affects each and every single being in the world. I don’t know how people would be able to cope with all the worries. It’s too much for me to handle. It’s like they need to be in a fantasy world in order to keep sane, or don’t watch the news at all. We need a leader; not just any leader, we need a leader that is not afraid, knows which route is best, has great tactics, and not anger other countries by our actions. Also, we need to get rid of debt. It would take more than 50 years to get that debt all paid. In order for that to happen, Americans should be independent as they were when this country was founded. Americans should work hard for their money and not ask for government help. If we kept on asking, then we will be dependent. The government will make mandatory laws on how to run your life. Like how to eat. Did you know that the government will be taking away salt, sugar, basically everything? That they will stop making chips, there won’t be any fast food restaurants, no desert at al, no candy, no chocolate at all. That means organic food that people could barely afford, fresh meat, and a lot of fruits. They might also get rid of pasta because it has salt. That is what we’re facing at. We need to be independent and get healthy before they take to drastic measures.

Don’t get me wrong, I believe that we needed the government, but if they have too much power, then that’s when things get really messy. We Americans need to shape our actions responsibly before they actually do that. And for that, we need leaders.
