Very interesting read

At this point, there is virtually nothing the government tells me, that I will accept without question.
 The incessant lies have contaminated everything else.

Of course we already knew all this in our hearts.

Agreed, but, what can we do about it? The government is the irresistible force without an immovable object. I shall not vote for the status quo in the next election, and will be trying to convince everyone I know to do the same. We have to send the entrenched Washington politicians a message. Even Rush Limbaugh is supporting the TEA party Repub's, like Ted Cruz and Rand Paul. He wields a lot of power so maybe a few will get the message. We'll see what he's talking come election time.

To quote the renowned philosopher, Robert Plant, "Don't care, really don't care, no don't care, really don't". I will be voting my conscience next time around.

Having been told by a supervisor, in a one-on-one, no witnesses, no meeting a burden of proof, context, that my supervisor would not be made to look bad, even if he had to lie (no burden there,) I understood that bucking the power structure would require ironclad documentation.  I am grateful that that learning process was relatively without cost.
