Please allow me to take a break from my ranting. Our political system has problems, many problems. But, as Winston Churchill said, (paraphrasing) “..democracy is the worst form of government, except of course for all of those others that are tried from time to time..” We must never forget the wonderful system that allows for open debate, ranting on the internet and disagreement. We should value the fact that power has changed hands many, many times over the last two hundred plus years, often between people who don’t like each other, and yet nary a shot has been fired. It is often important to take a step back and look at how great of a system we have. We are lucky to be able to rant on and on (and in some cases on) about petty things like political commercials and legislative gridlock. Many peoples of the world wish to have such problems to deal with.
