Why even change?

What's the purpose for leaving everything behind and just start walking until you think you have made a difference in at least someone's life? I believe it is our American right to talk about ideas our government was build on and form our own ones. When was the last time you talked about our government with someone? I'm not talking about who you voted for or how the president can't talk, but I'm talking about a real conversion about what you believe in.



Plato believed democracy would fail because of three reason but the one I think we are really having a problem with today is democracy leading to conflicts and disagreements. Is that what we want or not want? Before I talk about how Plato's idea causes problems with us today, I need to talk about how I think ten percent of America's people control not only the rest of America but also the rest of the world.


Plato


Five percent of extreme leftist liberals and five percent of extreme rightest conservatives voice and force their opinion on everyone else. When you hear anything about what is going on in the world politics do you hear the opinions of the people who are in the middle or the people who are radical on different subjects? Who are the people you hear about in the national news: terrorist? murderers? leftist? rightist? Aren't they all forcing their opinions on you(even though so are more extreme then others)?What are reasons why people are elected to the office in the first place?:

a.) People vote on them because they in the same party as the particular person is in

b.) Greater of two "evils"

c.) They believe about the same as you do

d.) Not enough people who believed opposite of them showed up to vote

e.) Based on how the person looks or there demeanor with other people

f.) Now, the one I'm concerned with is about how people minds are shape to believe what someone else believes because nowadays youth are drilled from birth to believe in what everyone else believe.





















Why the entire half of America should vote


If you are reading this still you either are expressing curiosity, agree with me, or seeing how much more preposterous my though is going to get. Well this is where I will bring up what Plato said and relate it to what is happening today. What is a conflict or disagreement? Webster dictionary says a conflict is a competitive or opposing action of incompatibles; a disagreement is a state of being at variance. Also you have to know ancient Athens was a pure democracy where the United State of America is a democratic republic. The main difference to me is that where a conflict arises where there is no leader to get everyone back on topic a pure democracy fails or takes to long to make a decision but conflict in a democratic republic is almost compulsory to be effective. Our government is always evolving to what the people want it to be but if the people never change from what everyone else wants then what is the point to being able to evolve?

Now what I want to accomplish from my walk is to inform people they have not only the god-given right but also the American right to think and form any ideas they want. Why be part of a country who was made by people who wanted to think the way the other to think if you aren't going to do it now. I I could get anything from this journey then I would ask or every single person to have their own thoughts.

Mission Statement

I lived for nineteen in the beautiful town of Chesapeake Beach but I have decided I need to leave to further my development as an American citizen I need to leave this town.















Chesapeake Beach, Maryland

Whats better to learn the American life than to walk across its land and visit all of the places where the history are stored and made everyday. I believe the best way to discover the true meaning behind America I need to give up most of the advantages of being an American citizen. I will leave home behind and never look back until I have visited all of the state capital attainable by land. Also, I will be going to major historical sites which our f ore-fathers have died protecting ideals the American people take for granted today. Some places I will go to are:















The Alamo













The Gettysburg Battlefield

















The Hover Dam


During the past couple of weeks, I have been planing this adventure and I plan to leave when I find enough money for food. The belongings that will be accompanying me are a notebook and writing utensil (so I can write down what I'm feeling at any given time), two pairs of jeans, three pairs of shirts, three pairs of underwear, a tent and sleeping bag, two one gallon milk cartons for water, walking shoes, a jacket and sweats for cold weather, glove and a knit hat also for cold weather, four pairs of socks (aways where two at a time on each foot), a rubber lacrosse ball (for something to do while walking), a camera to document my journey along the way, a fire starter, a prepaid phone just in case of an emergency, a survival knife and a little bit of money for food along the way. I think those are the only ideas you need to live and everything else are the comforts the society makes us take for granted.
