Reciprocity. Two-way street. Literally and figuratively, it's sweet. HOWEVER in politics all streets only go 1-way. Guess whose way?

We the people  support the pols, elect the pols and expect that they support us. We are such sillybillies aren't we? It would be ever so cute and adorably neat if it weren't so terribly awful. SIGH. Gullibles. Saps. Dopes. :(
