My man Double...I had a case of fat fingers this AM-<br />My man Doubletrouble took the time out of his busy day and left a comment:<br /><br />Hahahaha!<br />Representatives representing *you*, a citizen?<br />Silly boy...<br /><br />And I, in my mostly-somnolent state accidently pushed "Delete" instead of "Publish".<br /><br />Oops.<br /><br />And I did it again... to Famous the KX59, no less...<br />He opined:<br />Frustrating yes?<br />We have a mountain of shit to move with a fish fork to turn things around, but just remember, you are not alone. There a millions of us.<br /><br />So...<br /><br />Let me respond to everyone-<br /><br />Bob-<br />I am with you...<br />(And I don't mean I'm just standing right here with you... I am WITH you.)<br /><br />And I write and call. And vote. And proselytize. And try to move Heaven and Earth.<br />But sometimes I feel like Sisyphus... <br />Frustration dulls any feeling of accomplishment you get for trying to do the right thing. <br />Doesn't mean I'll stop, though.<br /><br />ONFO<br />Yeah...

I understand your despair and frustration. I...TBG,<br /><br />I understand your despair and frustration. I don't think our representatives are listening to us very much. What's sad is we are to blame. We, as in the general public, normally don't tell them how to vote, what policies we want. So they started thinking they led and we followed.<br /><br />They are humans after all.<br /><br />What I've determined is I can't change what they do. I can't 'force' them to listen...but I would be negligent in my responsibilities if I didn't try. <br /><br />I would be failing in two ways; trying to influence my representatives and failing to tell those seeking to oppress me just how badly that will go.<br /><br />In the end, it is my principles I'm standing up for even if the world no longer values them.<br />In the end, even if I am go down - I want to go down swinging and holding my head high. Because I've done what I feel I should.<br /><br />Do what is right for you; call don't call, write don't write. Listen to those urging you to do something and decide what is right for TBG.<br />Bob S.http://3boxesofbs.comnoreply@blogger.com
