The bottom line is this (two party system that gets rewarded for bad behavior so long as it's not worse than their competitor) is yet another reason why our once-great nation is doomed since we can't escape from the very oversight that's sinking it no matter how much we wish we could. Some of us are at least making an effort to enact change and while it may only be 1% think of how many of our society actually make us the world power and the free nation that it is. I think you'll find that 1% of any segment can be capable of great things. But if that 1% isn't willing to make some sacrifice it's just business as usual as we edge towards the cliff. I generally rest well at night knowing that I voted for the right person for the job. This is the one election where I held my nose in an attempt to slow the march towards the cliff and now not only did the bigger scum bag win anyway but I didn't use my vote to vote for the best person for the job of those available to me and that's something I have to live with; compromising my own ideals.
