Pareha nato, I can't impose what I believe unto you, and you can't unto me. Have you even tried telling somebody what's supposed to be right and what's wrong? Unless they asked for your advice, sagad they'll shrug you off.
I'm not saying normal people can't inspire people or instill a change, but they are almost in extraordinary circumstances. Now leaders, or people who are voted to lead a country, already have supporters--If they lead by example, the general trend is that people will be inspired or move to be like that leader. They become role models. You are expecting too much from human psyche to think nga change will just manifest in a large number of people without a catalyst or leader. It's not like some kind of movie where everyone just reaches an epiphany and change like it was the denouement of the story. It really doesn't matter how the cycle started anymore, AFAIK moot naman nah. We can argue that the people are corrupt because the government is corrupt or that the government is corrupt because the people are corrupt. It doesn't matter. The important thing is, leaders are there to lead. Think of it as a flock of sheep and the shepherd.
If you have the resources and time to start an organization that aims to educate voters, go ahead. I'll even help you if you are sincere about it. Even though it is welfare related and still should be a part of the scope of the government's responsibility. It still goes back to people needing someone to lead.
honestly I wouldn't care if gi birahan sa media ang mga politcians or not. My objection is that it tends to be very partisan or partial to one side ra kaayo. The media steers people to their interests. You really think gi-birahan si PNoy sa media? wala ra na katunga sa panahon ni Gloria nga halos kada news is the character assassination of PGMA.
Ladies and gentlemen, the government has no control and is not an authoritative entity. I'm not even going to respond to this asinine bit.
Whose they?
If one were just a free-thinker without being versed about the function of their environment, then it is useless. Contrast diay nang free-thinking and education? as far as I know you can be educated and be a free-thinker. You think innovators are just free thinkers? Virtually all of them are well-educated to begin with. How can you be a free-thinker if wala say unod imung utok? Free siguro ug hangin imung pasabot. People who are open-minded are educated too, that's why they are able to accept different approaches to a subject and learn about it. Aha man ka aning idea nimu?
Anyway OT najud ta pila ka volleys back.
