What people need to realize is that we only depend on the government if we depend on the government. Even if the leader of our country is the absolute worst in history, the country only falls if the people fall. That's why CA prop8 is more important to me than who becomes president. Because the condition of society's standards and behavior will guide the country either to ruin or peace and prosperity.
The government can do nothing to create a productive, healthy society without families generating well-adapted, decent and honorable citizens. The very best formula for this generally has been to have each child raised by a mother and father who love each other and the children that they together create. This doesn't always turn out perfectly, but you can see a strong positive correlation. (Most of this paragraph is paraphrased from a BYU devotional/forum this week)
The only way a bad or good leader can make a nation rise or fall is with the people's permission. It's only because we invest in that leader that so much rides on them. only because we consent to their governance.
