Now I keep reading about people saying that democracy is fragile, and that it has to be constantly defended and guarded. Almost like it’s some precious vase that you have to be careful when you handle it so you don’t break it.
Got news for ya, folks. One party has been intent on breaking it for a long time, and have been supported by the media in its thirst for power.
And the other party? They left the people behind over twenty years ago. I won’t hold my breath that that will change in the coming couple of years, but at least a few are in the group who care about the everyday people. You can spot them easily, because others in their own party fight them. Seems most of the party wants to please the rich. The rest of us? We get a few bones thrown our way to keep us quiet and grateful while they keep stealing all the money and hording it.
Okay, I’m not used to ranting so often. Gotta stop and catch my breath. Until next time, here’s something a co-worker told me back in the late 70s: “It’s only by luck that anything that happens in Congress benefits the little guy.”
