What do I think of this whole political mess? I won't get into much of my personal opinions on specific politicians local or federal. Usually, I find myself voting against the greater evil, not really for anyone. I believe there's so much diversity to represent in our system of elected representation, n so many issues to sway voting, it's a wonder any problems ever get solved!

The way this country runs reminds me of the Galactic Senate in the Star Wars films. The past few weeks I've been watching those six films again. Surely George Lucas was drawing upon the workings of the US House n Senate Chambers when he wrote those scenes into the script. What I believe the fictitious Senate had in common with our current system, is that altho much is discussed n debated, it's rare that anything is agreed upon, n progress made...
