The dumb America as aspiration....

Another member of the "Lunatic Fringe" is going to be a Senator. Washington cannot pass any laws, even with a majority in all branches of government the Republicans fail, and the people support the failure. We are getting to the point where Science and literature cannot carry the country any longer, and they are starting to not want to carry the country. We must use minor coercion to get people voting, a tax deduction etc. or, like Australia, a law that says you must vote. We've abandoned our government to the gypsies, tramps, and thieves. It's pathetic to see, and a horror to live through. We appear to aspire to incompetence, self-aggrandizement, and hopelessness. We have become traitors to our stated ideals and watch actual traitors run our country. Perhaps we should just surrender to the rich and powerful.
