It's amazing how so few people on any side can lead the rest of the population around by the nose and still retain power. I'm at the point now where I really don't trust anyone, regardless of who they are who they represent, with power, because it changes people. Those who go in with the intent to rule over everyone are the worst, but the ones who go in with good intentions end up becoming just as dangerous because they can lead others to believe in things they would never otherwise. All for the good of the order.
There's plenty of divisiveness to go around, in one form or another. And yet, the party machines roll on, and the worst possible agendas for the American people continue to get rammed through, by an inch here or a mile there. Doesn't matter who's in the majority. Direction is primarily the same, with speed more or less the difference. Terminal velocity or terminal velocity times ten. Take your pick. :)
