Exposed to Politics

Throughout my entire life I never really gave a damn about politics. I always figured it didnt matter because basically everything that went on in my individual everyday life was pretty much okay. I hardly ever saw any horror of what a person can truly do and it NEVER would have occurred to me that someone on our side would ever try to hurt us. I had never really understood why people have such negative comments about politicians and why they were always such "liars". Truth is that the concept is still a little hard for me to understand. However, I feel like im a little "eyes wide open" now. After watching the second clip of Natasha's blog, I grew REALLY scared. It was so scary to me how these thoughts even occurred to people. I was wondering why it would never occur to me? Why would someone think this? Is it possible that the government could truly do something this evil? While watching the clip I gre extremely confused which isnt ever truly rare for me because im always confused. But I was never really ever scared of my government and that was weird. It's just always been so logical to me that we have these people that we choose that are supposed to be helping us make this place, that we live in, better than it is. I believe intentions here are all wrong. I dont know whether i agree or disagree completely with all the things that the government does, but one thing I have realized is that the "TRULY GOOD INTENTIONS" are never there. For politics theres always a reason for the intentions and its usually for a "give and take" reason. I'm not sure if the government was in on the September 11th attack and I dont know if I should believe that people can truly be this way. Sometimes I think its better to be naive but knowledgeable at the same time. Does that even make sense? Ever since I figured out that I had no idea who I was choosing who I would vote for, I started watching the presidential debates. Although I still have no idea, I hope I can make a better decision by trying to understand exactly the "TRUE" intentions of these candidates.
