as we waste our time pointing fingers and rooting out these nefarious cabals, the real business of government is getting swept into the corner. we waste millions uncovering the foolishness of this group or that and the whole time we ignore the simple fact that we allowed it all to happen by our own blind arrogance. instead of wasting our energies blaming our own faults on others, maybe we should be making sure that we don't make the same mistakes again. by blaming someone else we avoid taking responsibility and the responsibility rests squarely on the shoulders of those who allowed this government to become so unresponsive to the will of its citizens, the people themselves.

maybe it's too late to fix it, from all of the conflicting rhetoric i hear i'm inclined to believe that to be true. maybe it's time to tear it all down and rebuild from a more up-to-date model, nothing lasts forever.
