Not statesmanship nor public service, but today’s elected officials seek to preen and pontificate in order to satisfy their outsized egos. They are not problem solvers or deep thinkers. They ARE the problems. Until people of character and integrity rise to serve their neighbors and friends this is what we will be forced to endure. We the People have been bequeathed a system of self-governance that only works if citizens are actively involved. Benjamin Franklin was quoted as saying, “You have a Republic, if you can keep it.” Political ignorance and indifference is killing our republic. Step up, people! And act like you care.
