Through our own vote we have taught them that we will settle for lousy representation.
It's sad, Americans claim to love freedom, but too few, fully understand what freedom is.
The truth is the vast majority only favor their version of freedom.
Someone smarter than I said it this way;
"You can protect your liberties in this world only by protecting the other man's freedom. You can be free only if I am free."
Clarence S. Darrow (1857-1938) American lawyer
