Re: GOVERNMENTS DO NOT CHANGE

Governents simply serve to make things more rigid, by putting things
into law. Law is the antithesis of change. Many politicians speak
about changing the government, but they often fail to change the
outside (non-government) world around them. The way that we change
the world around (for good or bad, and we are already doing so more
than we realize) is through our words and our actions. Our words
may take on either a positive or negative tone, which affects
people's psyches around us. And our actions may take on either a
constructive or destructive effect, which affects people's physical
bodies around us.
