I'm living at Lake Martin right now. And I grew up in NJ; and have family in NJ, FL,PA, ME and AZ, so I'm hardly wrapping myself in a Washington cocoon. If anything, my time spent in Washington only serves to make it clearer to me what is happening.
People voted for change because that's what people do when they get scared. They felt their government had lied to them. Whether you wish to believe it or not, people want to believe that their government will protect them and keep them safe. In the meantime, our government (and I'm talking in the very broad sense here, not politically) has been taking a short term approach to a long term problem. The day of reckoning is here.
I hear Democrats babbling and Republicans babbling, and experts with theories but the truth is that no one knows how to "fix" the problem -- if they did, they would push it and come out the hero. This is a much different problem than just a slow down of our economy. So the politicos just point fingers at each other and blame each other in hopes that it will divert attention away from the fact that the problem isn't going away.
The truth is that you can arm yourself all you want, but it won't stop the fundamental changes that are taking place. You can be mad as _ell about it too, but that won't stop it either.
