WHY oh WHY

Being of sound mind and reasonably unimpaired thinking ability I find myself recalling a college class called logic.  I don’t really recall all the intricacies involved in logic but to me it boils down to a mathematical equation that seem to have lost favor in today’s educational system, ie. Common sense or more easily understood in mathematical circles as 1+1=2.

There are quite a few things in the last few years that just don’t add up, such as :

Why is it in a government that was to be by the people for the people do we find ourselves flailing about is search of something that was found some two hundred plus years ago?  Why is congress who is supposed to keep government in check so involved with keeping we the people in check and under control?  Why do we the people continue to elect people that give the government more power election after election?  Why do we accept being controlled by laws that are shoved upon us just so our body of government can say it is being productive?  Why do we accept laws, regulations, taxation and license requirements by the thousands?  Why do we continue to promote to office those who are most adept at misleading and redirecting thinking just to keep their profession as lawyers in business?

There is no doubt we as a people have a reason to be angry and a reason for wanting different outcomes than what we ourselves have provided in the past through our voting or lack thereof. I have watched one political party in particular gain ground by simmering this anger and helping it to boil over occasionally.  I have watched that party fight to separate the American U.S. citizenry into small controllable factions pitted against one another in order to gain more political clout.  This has been done in spite of what is beneficial to our society as a whole.
