This type of post is all over the various forums on the web. The thing I can never understand in the midst of the mud slinging is why no one ever embraces our differences and diversity. Yes, our Gov't is imperfect and corrupt, but can anyone show me one that is not? A governmental body is not in place to coddle the people it governs, it is in place to make sure it stays in place, period.

Republican, Democrat, Libertarian, whatever; you are still just a cog in the wheel. I can hear the indignant gasps already, so let me ask you this: How many of you have armed yourself and refused to pay taxes? After all, isn't that what started the revolution that made this country?
