I'm not so sure "looking the other way" is always to blame.
I'm also not saying it's not.

What I would like to say is that there are WAY TOO MANY laws.
And more and more and more every day.

Who can keep up with them?
None of us can, and that's a fact.
That is absolutely true, however, when the job you were elected to perform, for which you get paid, is to determine which of those laws come to be, then I am not giving any free passes. If you didn't have time to read the bill, or understand what it means, don't vote on it.

Gosh, if it's that large a club, I'm not going to try again. I will shut up. :)

It's totally not worth the effort, let's just say my reading skillz were poor this morning and I conflated some things, leading to political blather that... skittered around. Seriously, you are missing *nothing*.

Anna
Don't you worry, Anna darling.

I thought it was pretty clear what you were saying.

Since you were responding to my post, that's just fine by me.

Only down side... we don't get nifty wrist bands, you and I. Shrug...

But you'd have to revamp our entire political system to do that.

Oh wait.
:D

That's part of what a free press is supposed to do, hold the politicians accountable for their actions. Instead we've gotten to the point where a Congressman says, when asked if he read the bill, "I flipped through every page," and it becomes fodder for late night comedy instead of being taken seriously by the American public.

I find often there's more truth in political satire than political news anymore.

Almost as if it's a rule.

On Anna's rant...

I think they are all evil. I was elected as a state delegate for the GOP in 2012. I attended the convention and saw nothing but slimy people taking tax money. I'm sure there are good ones, but I didn't see any of them. I met most of the big guys in the party, and they all tried to get me to vote for Romney. They were sneaking alcoholic drinks back into the convention hall, had 5-6 ladies surrounding them. I bet it was a huge orgy that night.

There were lots of illegal things going on there pulled by politicians. Really low life stuff. We even had to clear the hall of thousands of people, and let back in after checking ID's. That took a couple hours. Someone snuck in a few hundred Romney voters after registration closed. Bus loads of people.

There was also a lot of confusion there along with corruption. When 2016 came around, I stayed out of the loop. No reason to do that again. At least when it was all said and done, Nevada picked Ron Paul. That didn't matter for the National convention though. It was a life changing event for me. As in, I'm not doing this again, I have too much class.

Well, I have a friend who is into politics working for some PAC or other connected to the Clintons... When he started sending us satanic music to see "What we thought," not to mention his, ah, policy regarding interns, I sort of had to let him go....

So 90VG, nothing you said surprises me, and I wouldn't go back either! :)
