Regarding our trusty Congress's total refusal yesterday to address the gun issue:
Problem # 1: reps have been in office too long. Thanks to the consistent apathy of the American voter, representation has been allowed to evolve into a career position. This was never the Founding Father's intent.
Problem # 2: Congress is at the root of solving all national concerns. While Americans by their actions cause these concerns to rise, Congress has an existence-long history of doing little to solve much of anything. They remain self-serving blustery masters of corporations.
Problem # 3: The assault weapons bans needs to be put back in place, this time permanently. One of their own took a bullet to her head (Rep. Giffords, no matter the weapon used) and still, no action from her peers. Amazing. Slaughters continue across the country. No action. We track bicycle registrations better, and regulate them harder. No action.
Problem # 4: A house divided cannot stand. Despite being a melting pot nation, we should, we must be able to agree on a whole range of solutions to our multitude of issues. To keep delaying and ranting and raging, instead of rational adult discussion and solving, is the definition of insanity.
For people who complain they can't make it on $170k annual salary and some really good benefits, their inactivity and refusal to act, is astonishing. It should be embarrassing to them.
