Tom,
I agree with what you are saying about the politicians. But the problem I see is that too few people vote in this country. Many of my friends often complain about this or that but when I ask them "did you vote?", they always have an excuse not to. I then tell them to shut up and stop complaining. If voting is not the way to improve the situation where it needs to be improved, what do you suggest? revolution? <g>.
