>>>*I was beginning to think that I was all alone in most of those thoughts.

I do know we elect (hire) officials to handle large issues of government, because the truth is we don't want to do that ourselves.

But so many in government have lost sight, thinking we serve them rather than the other way around. I remember listening in shock to Mr. Obama and his clear statement that "Only government can solve the problems facing us".

The truth is that only we can solve those problems, and one of the issues is getting back control of "government."

Thanks, I find myself in agreement...*EB
