My interest in politics began to grow back in the 1980's, when it was clear what the anti-gunners were trying to do. Now politics consumes an enormous amount of my time.
While it's frustrating, I do feel that I've helped make a difference. At the very least, I helped get a true Constitutionalist into the Wisconsin state Senate.
Early this year, the city council had public meetings about a road project in our area. I went to every meeting, voiced every objection that I could, talked to the mayor, my alderman, the city engineer, etc.
Now that our area looks like Fallujah on a good day, and that peoples' walls are cracked from the vibration of the heavy equipment, and the non-stop pounding and beeping and roaring are driving everyone insane...people are mad. And I make no bones about reminding them that they could have attended the meetings to find out what was coming.
If you choose not to be involved in politics, you leave your fate in the hands of someone who is involved.
