You got my vote Jeff
It is very true what you said, mostly about the stepping up to the plate.
Our elderly population was raised in an atmosphere of voting by party line. Will vote republican or democrat because that is their family way or whatever.
Because of that we have billionairs in office that are as far removed from us as we are from amphibians. Come to think about it that is a perfect analogy.
If we all voted by looking at all the candidates and picked the one we thought would really do the right things and that was our only consideration this country would turn around in a decade ;)
