Seriously dude, ease up on the "Stephen King" novels...

Well, I've always said that the Federal Government should never be relied upon to do anything, regardless of which party is in control. Leave it to the officials who have the proper knowledge of the situation.

The problem is that we live in a society of ignorant citizens who WANT the feds to handle everything on a global level. Not only that, but it's SOOOO easy to blame them, as well. The citizens (generally) don't even know enough about their local government, to know who to blame anyway.

For instance, some radio show took a survey, here in St. Louis. Only 1 of 20 people knew who their state representatives were. 4 of 20 knew the name of the mayor. It's sad, really.
