“One Persona Can’t Do It Alone”
I find it disappointing and often painful to read some of the comments I read about how “angry” or “disappointed” some are and how quick they are to “hold his feet to the fire!” in a puffed-up, self-righteous rant.
One person can’t do it alone, but it must be awfully nice to be in the seat of powerful judgment as we sit back, relax, and watch him blow it as we knew he would, right? It must be satisfying to continually grind on those who have the guts to put their lives, liberty and sacred honor on the line for us. After all, we shifted our butts off the sofa (once every four years) and inconvenienced ourselves so tremendously on election day. — Anonymous – IOTW Report

Where's the *free* part?

Ghost, it's right next to the checkout; you've seen the sign 'free' next to PAY HERE.

I know it's about as subtle as a brick through a window, this message of being an involved, informed citizen who either lights the path, increases the participation and knowledge of others in this experiment called self-government, or who makes clever quips and settles back in to offer up brick-brats and little else.

To some, it seems, "self" includes everybody else.
Kind of like that social contract that nobody signed and very few adhere to.
