Sometimes I read something that just rings of simple truth. Here is a good example.
This is one of the best parts:
We weren't always like this. Inert. In 1965, Lyndon Johnson signed Medicare into law and 11 months later seniors were receiving benefits. During World War II, virtually overnight FDR had auto companies making tanks and planes only. In one eight year period, America went from JFK's ridiculous dream of landing a man on the moon, to actually landing a man on the moon.
Each day I wonder how things would be if we had a parliamentary system where bozos are turned out on their collective ears if things don’t get accomplished in a reasonable, but rapid manner.

Yeah, I felt the same way when I read this. Or if not parliamentary, than at least get rid of the electoral college so that we can have a true democracy and Gore would have been our president for the past eight years and we wouldn't have gotten in the mess we're in!
