“The government consists of a gang of men exactly like you and me. They have, taking one with another, no special talent for the business of government, they have only a talent for getting and holding office. Their principal device to that end is to search out groups who pant and pine for something they can’t get and promise to give it to them. Nine times out of ten, that promise is worth nothing. The tenth time it is made good by looting A to satisfy B. In other words, government is a broker in pillage, and every election is a sort of advance auction of the sale of stolen goods.”
-H.L. Mencken

Naw...you posted a great video, which reminded me of the quote I posted. Sad to say...most of the political posts here reflect the "what's in it for me" philosophy.

It's ironic you mention that. I've always said that voting is as much an act of selfishness as it is Patriotism.
