If they stopped spending so much money on themselves maybe there'd be more money to take care of the needs of we the people. I know! What an odd idea, right? So far they do whatever they want to service themselves and their patrons. Maybe that's the whole point of being elected prez,senator,representative. If so we the people are the stupid ones for expecting anything from them and for electing them. less

OR do you think it is the OBLIGATION/DUTY of every citizen to be informed and proactive and engaged in and investigating/researching everything pols do in our name at our expense? Why?

I have heard that "there are no accidents". If true that means everything is meant to be? I dunno. What do you think?

There even used to be "Complaint Departments" in stores where you could tell 'em what you didn't like and they'd try to do something about it....try to make you happy Now it's a joke. When/where did it start? At gas stations where you pump your own gas and they don't care if your windshield is matted with dead bugs? At the market where you bag your own groceries? At the bank where they have boarded up most of the teller stations and you either use machines they have in the lobby "for your convenience" or wait in long lines for the one or two tellers there to get around to you? This is PROGRESS? less

So they blame Him for everything saying He could have created perfect humans and chose not to do so. I think we all have the potential to be better than we are. We also have the potential to be evil and destructive. Potential. How many choices, how many outcomes does that include? Would you be happy living a life some other-worldly entity had programmed for you and no matter what you said or did was already mapped out for you? I dunno. Doesn't appeal to me. Being a game board piece whose moves are totally out of my control? Not my cuppa tea. Doth it appeal to thee? less

So he furiously and hurriedly fills judgeships with his eye on the door knowing it will be knocked down and he will be dragged out and stripped of any power. Is his eye on the right ball?

Do you react to headlines or do you read the entire thing before reacting?
