Do you know what it is to be complacent?

Merriam Webster defines complacency as "self-satisfaction especially when accompanied by unawareness of actual dangers or deficiencies ".

My generation (not the entire generation, but a very large portion) seems to be very complacent in their own lives, even if said lives are not much to be proud of, and seems to be very complacent about politics and what is happening in our economy and the upcoming election.
I'm not going to speak to being complacent in your own life....you should know if you are complacent and if you are, you need to do something to better yourself and your situation.
I am going to speak to being complacent about politics and our economy...If we continue to not be involved in what is happening, you're not going to like where our country is at in 5 years. Heck, I don't like where our country is at now, but I can't even imagine in 5, 10 years.
If there is one thing that I would hope you do this year regarding our country, it's VOTE. But don't JUST vote, do your research. Know who you are voting for. Don't vote for someone because a supporter happened to hand you a sheet as you stood in line waiting to vote, don't vote for someone because ABC News had a lot of positive things to say about them, don't vote for someone because they appeared on the Jay Leno show and you now feel you have all the info you need about them to vote for them.
DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH...know where each person stands on issues that are important. Don't be complacent...I don't what to be a 3rd world country and I hope you don't either...and I realize that might sound extreme but it's a very real possibility in the current climate.
I think Democrats and Republicans have it wrong and our current system of having Senators that make a career out of it is not what George Washington intended. But we need to do something to get our country back to the top and that starts with you and your vote.
