That is exactly the problem bclemms, politicians in general are the problem and not a specific party. The older I get, the more cynical I become. I used to love the American system of government and thought it should be a model for the rest of the world. This gross amalgamation it has morphed into has eroded my confidence and at this point, nothing short of another revolution will stop it.
That said, I am not sitting around doing nothing. I am arming myself for the next revolution. It will come in my lifetime; no doubt, unless the government takes me out with one of their drones!
PS OH CRAP! I just talked about armed revolution against the government on the internet. I bet that just jumped me right to the top of a bunch of watch lists!! Not sure if that buzzing noise on my front porch are killer drones or dirt daubers.
