Government studies = much confusion = 5% comprehension

     Last night my 10 year old sister came home with homework on the Constitution and she asked me to help her with it.  Well, I thought, she's in 5th grade, how hard can it be? Actually, I was quite surprised at how ridiculously confusing Politics and Government positions can be. I started to learn a bit of the confusing mess when I was attending a charter school...but never really could fully follow how everything worked. 

     

     Now that the subject of Politics and Government came up again, I realized that I'm not the only one confused about how it all works. I promise you I am not going to ramble on about be being confused because I know I'll lose your attention. What I am trying to get at is that why is it all so confusing? Why is it hard to understand the process in which our laws are made? Maybe there is a reason? What my (maybe totally off) theory is, is that maybe Government and Politics is complicated because when things are complicated, it's hard to find flaws. So, my theory is, is that maybe Government (and everything related to that) are set up to be complicated so that our Rights can be "worked around", so that the Law can be pushed or tweaked,  so that we don't have a say in what goes on, even if we think we do. 

     Ever thought of confusion that way? Maybe it's not your fault your confused! Maybe your meant to be confused.  

Next time you are confused about something, it may not be you...
