ORIGINAL: Mike Scholl ... Ah.., the wonders of "Democracy in Action". At least now you get the fun of electing your own choice of worthless, embarrassing, moronic twit instead of having him forced on you by a one-party system. I hope you voted for someone else so that you can play the "Don't blame me" game. What they never tell you about democracy until it's too late is that far too often your "choice" ends up being between two or three people who are ALL worthless, embarrassing, moronic twits. Mike, of all of the meaningful insights you have made on this forum (I mean that in sincerity), this is probably the brightest jewel.  And now my own side note: democratic vote for Twit A or Twit B, or one party system - the "twit" is still forced on you. Thanks "B". It arose from my years of trying to work up any enthusiasm to go to the polls to vote for "the lesser of two evils" (or idiots, or incompetents, or what-have-you). For a while I had a theory of always voting for the incumbant because they had probably already stolen most of what they were after. Then I realized that with millions being spent all over by both sides to get $100,000 per year jobs, they would all have to steal continuously to have a chance to break even. Last election I decided to vote in most of the "races" that weren't important to me "against" whoever put on the largest number of irritating TV ads..., and some who called me at home a number of times to tell me how great they were. It's gotten very hard to vote "for" anyone because most never say anything about what they want to accomplish for fear of offending someone. Right now I think I would settle for limiting election campaigns to 4 weeks just so I wouldn't have to be irritated by these clowns for months on end. It's a sad state of affairs...
