Not your best analogy. damookster Send a noteboard - 12/02/2022 08:47:04 PM

If it was possible to debate whether any system since Windows 95 has demonstrated that it is clearly superior, then maybe.

As you well know, when it comes to government I'm a small central government conservative who believes in the Constitution. But I acknowledge that the gridlock in Washington since Obama's election is far worse than anything I've ever seen before. I understand why people argue an activist judiciary or Presidential overreach via Executive Orders are the only way to accomplish anything.

My wish would be that Congress would do their jobs and if they don't, then the electorate would hold them accountable. But that's never going to happen when everyone applauds when their side stymies the other.

What's the answer? I have none. If I did, I'd be in DC.

Mook
