and the Elephants and Donkeys feed at the trough, nothing will change. At least, everyone should acknowledge that the BANKS & WALL STREET are in control, not the Govt. or US! I, for 1, am totally sick of all the political commentary on this board. Everyone has an opinion, but what are you doing to change anything?

I use an analogy for politics...I use movie critics as an example. They say a movie is rotten etc., well the way I feel, once you have won an Oscar for best screenplay, then and only then can you comment on another's work. Same is true with politics, unless you have a better idea, and work to implement it, stop whining about how the country is being run. Greed has ruled what has happened, and no political party is always right, but no politician seems to care about anyone but THEMSELVES, and the lobbyists know this, hence the reason why we have the cesspool we now have. I have faith in our President, and I think he is trying, but with all the Pigs (Politicians) feeding at the trough, no matter what our President does, he's either damned if he does or damned if he doesn't. Noone will be happy! So let us just focus on what we can do to help ourselves or our friends and neighbors, and stop worring about what the politicians are doing, because they'll keep getting elected over and over again by people who really don't look at the issues, and just vote straight party ticket. And to get all worked up is doing nothing except wearing yourself down. (I learned this the hard way) ( Also, I am in Utah, and thats what happens here (Straight Party Ticket voting), anyone other than an Elephant, no matter how HONEST or QUALIFIED they are, have a snowball's chance of getting elected here). Thanks for letting me rant...if you've gotten this far. Now, lets just have fun on this board,and be civil to each other, as I think that is what Greg would want from us.
