The problem is that Americans have become complacent and just accept what the Govt says.

We have given up making our elected officials be responsible for their actions and votes.

I know I will still vote. I always will...but this time, for who? The Democrats seem to do very well with non-binding resolutions but, not much else. It's sad to think but I don't think the country is ready for a Woman or a Black President. So, all that's left is Edwards/08
