Today, it seems that if I didn't vote for him then it is my duty to abhor everything the "other guy" says or does!!!! Just another indicator of just how badly broken the system really is, I guess......
No matter how you want to word it, or defend it, the system is broken and there is no real key way to fix it. From where I sit, it's not like the little guy can do anything to change it any how. All you can do is hope who ever is elected, doesn't make the mess that much worse. And really, the blame can't be laid solely on that one guy. Plenty of people help make the decisions good or bad.
