jj:
Why is it we automatically think that people other than elected/appointed officials are ignorant, uninformed and have no reasonable points of view?
Two actors have been elected Governor of California, one went on to be President. What expertise did they have to begin with?
Most politicians (and I have worked with quite a few over the years) are opinionated, egotistical, close minded and worse.
Granted, there are voices out there that are shrill on both sides of the aisle from non-politicians with extreme views, but even these people deserve to be heard, even if we do not agree. That is a guarantee this country gives to its residents. Remove this right and we lose our freedoms. (not that we are not already losing them slowly....)
