I believe the only way there is a true democracy is if the electoral college gets thrown away and have the people directly speak , not arbitrary representation . <| sep |> The kids ain ' t on leashes 247 , they are during small outings during busy times when a young child is at a particularly adventurous and carefree age . <| sep |> money changes people , and people with poor self control usually change for the worse . its usually their own incompetency that keeps them out of trouble , but if they can discard this limitation by acquiring tons of money , they will destroy themselves with it . A really good example of this behavior can be seen in USA native american reservations . The tribes with educated people will take their millions of dollars of government funding and use it to build up local businesses or invest it in other lucrative ventures . The tribes with poorly educated people with poor impulse control will instead give out lump sums which result in 18 year olds finding themselves with hundreds of thousands of dollars which they blow on stuff they didn ' t need . Things like a brand new car every year or so , or expensive food and drink that brings them no long termtangible benefits . The end result of these money injections result in the ghettofication of the local areas as people stop doing basic maintenance while believing they can simply buy new stuff later , with the people themselves being jobless , homeless , and usually hooked on alcohol or some kind of substance abuse . When people don ' t earn the money they have , they tend to not appreciate it , nor keep track of it , and therefore they end up spending it irresponsibly .
