I agree...WE are the Problem, As a Nation.

WAY WAY too many people vote their SPECIAL INTEREST GROUP rather than JUST BEING AN AMERICAN FIRST.

If you vote based on your color...or your sexual proclivity...or your self identification as a Basset Hound, you are NOT thinking of the country and the strength of the country first.

If you can not put the Nation first....YOU are the problem.

The people that run our country do not come to power through a royal blood line or a decree or some other form. We put every single one of them in the seat they are in. We create both a Maxine Waters and a Rand Paul, through the ballot box. Voters do it. Both informed and uninformed. Some that want something from the trough, others that want less trough.

I suppose you could argue it provides balance in the end. We are the country that has given you Reagan, Bill Clinton, Bush (2), Obama and Trump over the last almost 40 years. Also Maxine Waters, Rand Paul, Nancy Pelosi, Lindsey Graham, Chuck Schumer and Mitch McConnell.

That's a great article. The author is self-proclaimed conservative, but can objectively articulate that the system is jacked up on both sides, and many levels above and below.

It reminds me of what my mom would tell me growing up, "you don't have control of other people's actions, so just worry about controlling your own". My interpretation of that in this case is, We can't control the honesty and integrity of people and information around us, but we can control how we perceive it.

I wrote three additional paragraphs, but realized I would have had to write much more to finish it out; so I cut them :)

Probably a wise choice but they'll be missed...
