We need to stop voting for the same buffoons every time they come up for re-election, no question about it. But what really decent person runs for office nowadays. You could be lily-white, perfect, but to make the monthly Neilson rating, some news stations would try to make being nice a crime.

The politicians as well as many of us have become greedy, self-absorbed, get out of my way persons. Working for and toward a positive outcome/solution to any worthwhile endeavour has taken a backseat to the scratch card mentality that prevails in todays society.

It is what it is and it "is" our fault.
