Unfortunately we have too many people that vote as a sort of popularity contest, not as a means of obtaining the best for the people. The politicians are no better, since they ALL lower their standards and pander to whoever will give them their vote.

Maybe the next politician that utters the immortal words "No new taxes!" should be kicked in the crotch and given a "swirley" in a port-pottie!

We need to make sure that voters are informed and not just led to the polls like sheep to the slaughter house!
then we would be discriminating against dumb people

making s-b.com a kinder, gentler place for all
