Mowing the Lawn at the Lincoln Memorial

[Rogerm]

People regularly knock the U.S. government as though they are detached from it and carry no responsibility for the current state of affairs. But, the members of the Senate, the Congress, as well as the President, himself, were elected to their offices; supposedly by "the people." You can blame "big business", a "liberal press", or whatever scapegoat you choose for an unwarranted influence. But, in the end, the voter is responsible for his or her individual decision at the ballot box.
