"We have met the enemy and he is us."- Walt Kelly. . . . We have no one to blame but ourselves. Contrary to Ronald Reagan’s mantra that "government is the problem," the real problem is us. The intractability of Congress and the lack of political will is symptomatic of a more serious malady afflicting the American people for which we have failed to take responsibility. For those that live in a democracy, they should look first to themselves as responsible for their institutions of government. Ours is a constitutional republic - a representative form of government - and if you will not stand for elected office and serve, then give your support to one who will serve the public interest. The least one can do is cast an informed vote: for what value is the franchise but its exercise? Indeed, it is a fundamental failure of democratic principle when elections are determined by apathy and ignorance. Our elected representatives and officials are a reflection of our society; and, ultimately, ourselves. It is fitting that, in a democracy, the people should have the government they deserve.
