Jeff Says: Less Government Please!!! Join the Libertarian Cause .... because these cronies that make up our government can't even control their own lives!
Spin I do love the stats, and the lead in to your post was pretty awesome. However, I can sense the frustration you seem to express about our current government, or perhaps just government in general. I do feel that there is political corruption, and that our beautiful democracy has let us down in recent years. Yet the question I come back to is, does government fail because of the elected officials we put into office? Or could it be that our government is a direct reflection of our society? So regardless of how much government influence/control exists, I wonder if it will really change our culture? Anyways I liked reading your blogs!!!! Keep it up.
