The sad fact that we are even discussing them is a manifestation of the even sadder fact that, until recently, Americans have grown complacently inattentive to the actions of and abuses by government at allRichardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12249025683174250122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1283544173372045826.post-51538564928548860542010-07-08T16:58:52.671-05:002010-07-08T16:58:52.671-05:00Yesterday I ran into a kid that wants to be a lobb...Yesterday I ran into a kid that wants to be a lobbyist.

However, it does drive to the heart of what is a dysfunctional system of representation on Capitol Hill. There are 49,000 lobbyists on K Street to sway just 535 Senators and Representatives. 85% of people are dissatisfied with Congress, yet 95% of incumbents get re-elected.

Indeed, we are at a place in our nation's life where we will either re-assert that the construction of America's government was intended to be "for the people BY THE PEOPLE," or this current relaxed state of "democracy on auto-pilot" by blithely electing whatever clown is put up before us will devolve into an autocracy pretty darn quick.
