There is a large segment of our country that place their faith in our politicians, believing them to be visionary leaders able to guide our country far better than others. This is a flawed assumption. This is a dangerous and flawed assumption. This is a narrow, self-serving, dangerous and flawed assumption, for nothing could be further from the truth.
Over the past 10-years or so, anyone who has observed our various governments (local, county, state, and federal), at work should understand one thing. Regardless of political affiliation, the politicians and their enabling staff are self-serving. They push a personal agenda based on their perception of what will sell to those whose votes they need. They truly have little moral commitment to any single set of ideals. They react based on that same perception of what they need to do to secure the votes they need.
If you need to be convinced of this – look no further than the ABC 7 news report from NYC. NYC to Install 1,500 Barriers to Prevent Ramming Attacks. Since 9/11 we have had how many reports of terrorists using cars and trucks to kill people and the leadership of NYC never considered putting up barriers to prevent vehicles from driving down pedestrian or bike paths?
Brilliant!
