Working late and stuck in traffic in L.A.and too late to get to the polling booth. But seriously, I understand your point and try to do my part to change things. I remember over 20 years ago having a discussion with some people and all of them were saying "They" this and "They" that with regard to any government direction. Obviously something happened along the way to sort of brainwash people into thinking that "They," whoever "They" are, run the government. Ever since then when I hear that kind of talk I remind people that it is up to "We" and not "They" to steer the direction of our society. I blame it on a lack of proper education.
