"Pluralism" or "Elite"

Well I've got to be honest, I don't really follow politics. For the most part, I have spent the past few years in a bubble. But those days are over. Now I have to say if I think America is run by groups with evenly dispersed power or a few elite people with all of the power.

I think that America is much more "elitist" than "pluralist." There are a few top officials and money holders that pretty much control the country. Advocacy groups and individuals may, at times, think they have a good portion of the power. However, in reality the pie is sliced very unevenly. The power is in the hands of the few at the top. It seems like many of the decisions are really made behind closed doors and under really expensive tables rather than by the public, for the public.

who i am

Well, my name is Katherine and Kate and, most commonly, Katie. This past weekend I celebrated my 19th birthday in Dallas after a week of friends visiting here in Austin. I really don't know what all you want to know about me. I had lived in ten houses/apartments/condos etc. by the time I was five years old. After that point I went to the same Catholic school all the way from kindergarten to 8th grade and then went to an all girls Catholic school for all four years of highschool.

... movin' on...

I am a kinesiology major with a pre-physical therapy emphasis. Eventually, I want to be a neurological physical therapist.
