It's worth a read. Probably no reason to cry murder yet, but always good to be aware of possibilities.

I'd like to believe one day (before it's
too late), We the People will realize that
if we want
our government to serve
our needs (as oppose to our conforming to their ideals... which
ironically should be
our ideals but usually aren't), we'll have to make an effort to elect the right people into office. It seems we, as Americans, forget from election to election who did what and why. We don't hold
them accountable, they get back into office and begin to stray far enough away from their campaign promises that
the agenda has become their agenda and not ours.
Ultimately,
they begin to do things that
we don't want them to... which should never be the case since we're the ones who put them there in the first place.

I know it's not really that simple, but some days when G. Orwell is tapping me on the shoulder, it feels like it should be.
